I feel compelled as both a music devotee and the leader of a company to merge these two worlds, and make a meaningful contribution to a worthy candidate." Garcia says, "It is with great enthusiasm that I give back to this community that has provided me through the years with inimitable inspiration and emotional clarity."
Interested students must submit a short personal statement, along with a recorded three-minute musical performance. The award is open to students of all musical genres. The scholarship committee will assess candidates based on talent, passion, work ethic and financial hardship. Last year's recipient was Ms. Cameren Williams of The Juilliard School.
