RENEE CRAIG SCHOLARSHIP

The Renee Craig "Music in Motion" Scholarship recognizes the lifetime contributions to the craft of barbershop made by the legendary director, arranger and quartet champion, Renee Craig.

Each year the committee receives an average of eight to 10 applications. The committee is overwhelmed by the caliber of these talented young men and women, making the decision process difficult. Donations for this very worthy cause are always appreciated and checks can be made out to the Renee Craig Scholarship Award. For more information send an e-mail to hccollins@me.com
