Elijah Morman

Hello hello! I just wanted to say thank you for this generous award. For some time during my college career, I had found it occasionally hard to reassure myself how secure a pursuit of music is. I feel seen and recognized in my journey at Belmont University, the school I attend, and I will do my absolute best to establish music-making as a passion that should be shared and cultivated, especially for young students. I want to provide others with the opportunity to learn, grow, and showcase their gifts in front of appreciative and acknowledging audiences. This award brings me steps closer to achieving this. I am so grateful for this scholarship, and commend you for finding young people who wish to exhibit their talents, as well as assist their peers in doing so. I pray people continue to use the gift of music to share expression and experience. Thank you, and God bless you!
