About

The Arts Council provides administrative support for the Sandy's MusicGirls as a part of their project to remember Sandy Greer Morrison, who was an ardent lover of music and a compassionate person. Sandy lost her battle with cancer in March 2014, and her husband Steve Morrison created the scholarship to honor her legacy. Steve and Sandy performed together in the 1980s, and Steve wanted to provide girls with opportunities to develop their creativity and self-esteem, something that Sandy was passionate about. Although she never had any children of her own, she loved kids. The scholarship aims to help girls who were influenced by Sandy and are carrying on her legacy. Some of the girls who are receiving the scholarship were Sandy's friends.

Mission

Sandy’s MusicGirls is a program designed to assist girls in developing their vocal, instrumental, and dance skills for traditional music genres like folk, bluegrass, country, blues, and Americana. The scholarship fund provides support for eight girls, including lessons, instruments, mentors, attendance at music camps, and whatever else they may need to continue growing in music. The funding for the Sandy’s MusicGirls is primarily from donations and benefit concerts.
