Every year, the Pasadena Alumnae Chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota (SAI PAC) holds a Scholarship Competition for Southern California music students in three categories: voice, piano, and instrumental. First and second place winners receive scholarship prizes and perform in a recital.
In 2023, UCLA students won first and second prizes in both the Piano and Voice category. In Piano, Rin Homma (class of 2026) won first place and Terry Hsu (class of 2025) won second place. In Voice, Sabrina Langlois (second year master’s student) won first place and Krystal Mao (class of 2026) won second place.
SAI PAC’s Scholarship Competition was first instituted in 1947. Since its inception, the scholarship has benefited over 150 music students in southern California.
