[Harp-L] SPAH Youth Scholars

[JERRY DEALL]

Do you know of any young or emerging players?
SPAH has two opportunities:

The Rosebush Youth Scholarship and the new Steve Saylors Aspiring Young Artist Grant.
 
Each year, the SPAH Youth Committee also awards several scholarships to suitable applicants to attend the annual SPAH convention. Awards will cover rooming costs for Rosebush or out of stipend for Saylors at the SPAH convention hotel from Tuesday through Saturday nights. They will also include convention registration for each award recipient. Recipients also receive a complimentary SPAH membership starting at the Convention in August through December of the following year. This includes the Harmonica Happenings quarterly magazine and access to the membership content on the SPAH website.
