Great job , Kristin, as usual. I agree with all of your suggestions. I'm
especially glad to see us again award Autumn in her final year of eligibility.
I'd like to also suggest we find out a bit more about the future interest in
the Derr kids pursuing learning bluegrass on the instruments and if they are,
encouraging them to apply for full scholarships in future years. I think it is
very unselfish of them to only request the cost of the camp at this point
especially when two of them are so young. This is a first and maybe something
we can do in the future as an inexpensive way to get kids to camp that they
might otherwise not do

Good morning,
We have a total of 8 scholarship applications received this year. Three are
from the same family and requesting only $25 each for a music camp. Autumn and
Canyon are both eligible and applied, and there are several other very
deserving applicants.
This year, the Laird family will be selecting one of the applicants to receive
the award funded by the Dick Laird scholarship fund. I will work with the
family to make that selection. After that point, I am recommending that we
award four scholarships (same as last year), plus the $25 awards requested by
the three Derr family members (total $75).
| 2020 Scholarship Applicants |
| Doron Nolt | Nev Jackson | 15 |
| Joelle Nolt | Nev Jackson | 17 |
| Rebekah Derr | $25 Camp | 12 |
| Wyatt Derr | $25 Camp | 10 |
| Alayna Derr | $25 Camp | 8 |
| Hadley McLaughlin | TBD | 6 |
| Canyon Moore | Troy Engle | 16 |
| Autumn Moore | Troy Engle | 18 |
As you know, we require each applicant provide some information as to what
Bluegrass means to them, and why they believe they should be considered for an
award. This year, I thought it would be nice to share some of those
submissions. Attached is a document that includes scanned submissions from our
applicants. If you are unable to open or access, please let me know.
Enjoy!Kristen
