About Our Foundation

This legacy provides educational scholarships and other means of financial support for students of Sheridan County Wyoming who attend accredited universities, colleges, vocational schools, and other well established educational institutions offering post- secondary education for students pursuing a musical education or students who have special needs. On occasion, students pursing a general education are offered support.

After evaluation by the Foundation's Board of Directors, grants and scholarships will be awarded to special needs students, or students pursuing music education. In some instances the Foundation may support students pursuing a general education. On a case by case basis, the Foundation may fund presentations by visiting artists, or assist with purchase of musical instruments for local schools.
