Roy W Hill Music SCHOLARSHIP

Roy W. Hill was a very quiet, reserved man who loved his community and wanted to leave his mark on North Central Washington forever. Mr. Hill, chemist, husband, friend, and lover of music died of cancer in 1998. In his passing the love he had for music, especially classical music, never faltered. His will provided for two generous four-year, college scholarships each year for students from Chelan or Douglas counties who plan to major in music.

Application Opens: January 1st
Application Due Date: March 1st

Eligibility:
  1. Graduating senior who is a Chelan or Douglas County resident
  2. Enrolled as a full-time student majoring in music

Note: This scholarship is paid over four years and requires an update showing educational progress in the field of music, a successful academic year, and completion of forty hours of community service to keep the scholarship in place the following years. Volunteer hours should be documented using the Roy W. Hill Community Service Form and submitted with your assigned Follow Up Form.

GRANT RECIPIENT

Due to being rural, remote, and geographically isolated, we must be prepared to do more than respond to emergencies. We have become a healthcare partner who fills gaps in service. The grant allowed our board the time and ability to work with a Strategic Planner to modify our plan to address those gaps.

My father was a migrant agricultural worker who eventually started his own cherry and apple orchard. He told me if I wanted to live a better life, I had to get an education. I plan on starting a career with the Chelan PUD with a passion for renewable energy and in turn give back to my parents and community for supporting my dreams.
