In my personal attempt to ensure more of our youth have access to arts education, along with being an arts educator myself, I started The Lydia Fray Music Scholarship and The Kay Sykes Arts Scholarship. The Lydia Fray Music Scholarship and The Kay Sykes Arts Scholarship were created with the purpose to provide funding to those who may not have adequate access to free arts education through their schooling or those going into the arts in college at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
