Nicholas Murillo Foundation Scholarship
Nicholas Murillo was a beloved son whose absence is profoundly felt by his family, friends, and community.
Nicholas had a strong passion for sports, but his true talent lay in music. He was a gifted bass player and was dedicated to his craft. Nicholas had an exceptional ability to light up a room with his smile and laughter and his kindness was a cherished experience for everyone around him. While Nicholas is remembered by many, he’s particularly missed by his service animal, Gutz.
This scholarship aims to honor the memory of Nicholas Murillo by supporting individuals who strive to further their careers in the music industry.
