Jim Hutson Scholarship
Jim Hutson was a beloved husband, father, and grandfather who had music in his blood from both sides of his family.
Jim was part of “The New Generation,” performed in school plays and choir, performed with gospel artists, formed “The Woodsmen Quartet,” and even recorded albums as a solo artist. Jim was also a deejay on the radio and was eventually inducted into the Southeastern Indiana Musician’s Hall of Fame in 2024. Jim sadly battled pancreatic cancer in his life and ultimately passed away from the disease, but his legacy lives on.
This scholarship seeks to honor the memory of Jim Hutson by supporting students who share his love and talent for music.
Any high school senior in Indiana who has at least a 3.0 GPA may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they’re pursuing a music-related major.
