Foundation For Bluegrass Music Awards Prestigious Grant To NCBS Walker Creek Music Camp Scholarship Fund
The Foundation For Bluegrass Music (Nashville) has awarded one of only four 2016 grants to support children’s bluegrass education to the Northern California Bluegrass Society’s Walker Creek Music Camp Scholarship Fund.
The prestigious nationwide grant was announced at the International Bluegrass Music Association Awards Luncheon at the World Of Bluegrass in Raleigh, NC on September 29, 2016.
The NCBS fund accepts donations and awards partial or full scholarships to deserving young students at the Walker Creek Music Camp, which is held each Spring & Fall at the Walker Creek Environmental Education Center & Ranch near Petaluma. A NCBS committee manages the four-year-old fund.
The Walker Creek Music Camp was established in 2013 by Camp Director Ingrid Noyes. The residential camp educates both adults and children in instrumental and vocal instruction, with nationally-recognized instructors.
The FBM also awards a college scholarship each year to a student studying bluegrass music. Palo Alto’s Molly Tuttle was one of the past recipients.
Thanks to all the donors, now including the Foundation For Bluegrass Music, as well as all the NCBS volunteers, for making this scholarship fund available to young aspiring bluegrass students in Northern California.
