COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – The 2018 recipients of Irma L.English Summer Music Scholarships have been announced. This year six students were selected to receive a scholarship from $500-$1,000 to attend a Michigan music summer camp of their choice. The scholarships came from the Irma L. English Memorial Music Scholarship and from a private donor fund held at the Branch County Community Foundation.
This year’s recipients are: Liam VanWagner (Legg Middle School), Selena Hostetler (Coldwater High School), Madelyn Brodock (Athens Area Schools), Madisyn Morgan (Coldwater High School), Lydia Kaniewski (Legg Middle School) and Emily McIndoe (Coldwater High School).
The Irma L. English Memorial Music Scholarship was created in 2008 in honor and memory of Irma Louise English, a lifelong Branch County resident.
One of Irma’s strongest passions was music, evidenced by the encouragement she gave to her children. At a young age, they were able to participate in various musical activities. Her family wanted to offer a chance for students to have a positive musical experience, just like they did. With the Irma L. English Memorial Music Scholarship 37 students have received a scholarship for music summer camp.
