William Smith Scholarship
William “Billy” Smith was a beloved husband who sadly passed away in June in a tragic car accident.
Billy was a huge music lover and a very talented musician who was a staple in the music community in Greenville. Music is a great hobby and calling that allows people to express their creativity and emotions. Unfortunately, as students grow older, many leave behind their musical ambitions and struggle to remain engaged in their craft.
This scholarship aims to honor the life of William Smith by supporting students who are passionate about music.
Any high school student who has community service experience and at least a 3.0 GPA may apply for this scholarship if they’re an aspiring musician, but applicants who are attending music colleges are preferred.
To apply, tell us about your background, your goals, how you will change the world of music, and how you give back to your community.
Please tell us about your background, particularly as it pertains to music. What are your future goals and how do you hope to impact the world through music? How do you currently give back to your community?
