Activate Fundraising for Music Scholarship
Donation protected
The Rev. Mildred E. White Scholarship fund is a (501c 3) with the purpose of awarding a music scholarship to students who are in their sophmore or above year attending an accredited college/university. Currently, we have a Choral Festival that generates our funding, but would like to increase the scholarship from $500.00 to $1,000.00.
