NATS offers a wide range of opportunities for members and friends, from professional development and networking to competitions and performance.

Announcing NATS NSA Fund
The NATS NSA Fund supports the creative, logistical, and practical costs of producing the NATS National Student Auditions Competition at the semi-final/final levels each year. These include but are not limited to student awards, named prizes, venue rental fees, collaborative pianist expenses, piano rentals, and audio/video equipment. By supporting the NATS NSA Fund, donors are creating opportunities for more students, from around the world, to gain valuable life and performance skills by competing at the semi-final/final levels. Increasing prize amounts, hosting competitions at diverse venues, and providing advanced technology will allow the NATS National Student Auditions to positively impact more families for years to come.
Since the National Student Auditions began, NATS has welcomed over 5,500 students and their families to the semifinal and final rounds of auditions, held across the United States at various locations. NSA has been a mainstay for NATS, and the program continues to grow. Since 2014, NATS has given out more than $400,000 in prizes, and in 2025 will award over $84,000 in prizes across 35 categories. In a typical year, NATS sees about 13,466 students auditioning from more than 80 NATS chapters. NATS recognizes the commitment to voice education these students and families have made by their participation in the National Student Auditions. We are pleased to honor this special group of NSA alumni by welcoming them into the new, NSA Generations Alumni Program (GAP)!
The NSA Generations Alumni Program (GAP) is a vibrant group of former and current student auditioners, as well as their families, interconnected through their commitment to receiving artistry feedback, growing their musical talents, and pursuing their vocal performance goals. All members will have the opportunity to join a supportive network among their musical peers to connect and share career advice, actively volunteer at the NATS National Student Auditions each year, and/or support the growth and student-impact of NSA through philanthropic gifts, if they so choose.
