An IUP distinguished alumni award recipient has contributed a $25,000 gift to support music education students.
Jay Althouse, who has bachelor’s and master’s degrees from IUP in Music Education, is a nationally recognized composer and arranger of choral music and has been a long-time supporter of IUP’s music program. Althouse has more than 800 works in print for choirs of all levels, and his music is widely performed throughout the English-speaking world, and has co-written several children’s musicals with his wife, Sally K. Albrecht.
His gift to IUP will be used to fund the cost of required exams and other expenses incurred by student teachers in music for the next five years.
