Our Student Scholarship 2025 Recipient is
Chloe Cowdrey! 




The CTMTA Scholarship Committee is excited to announce the recipient of our 2025 scholarship: Chloe Cowdrey! She writes: "I am honored to be chosen as the recipient of the 2025 Central Texas Music Therapy Association scholarship! I am beyond excited to begin my career as a soon to be board-certified music therapist! I discovered the field of music therapy while pursuing my passions in the fine arts as a singer in high school. It was life changing to discover a field that blended my passions of music and psychology. I soon attended Texas Woman's University in the Fall of 2020, to pursue a bachelor's degree in music therapy. I recently completed my music therapy internship at Sound Starts Music in March of this year. I am thankful for the wonderful supervisors, mentorship, and training I have received through both my internship and schooling. The most rewarding aspect has been the wonderful client relationships I have built and will continue to build. I will soon be working as a contractor in the Fort Worth area to establish professional roots in my hometown. I plan to pursue a master's degree in counseling in the Fall of 2025. Warm regards!"
