Carolyn Talbert lived and breathed music throughout her life, exhibiting a clear passion and love for it.

Unfortunately, many people who share Carolyn’s love for music are discouraged from pursuing it in college. A lack of music programs in schools combined with a lack of appreciation for the arts results in many talented and creative students turning away from their dreams.

This scholarship seeks to honor the life of Carolyn Talbert by supporting students who share her passion for music and the performing arts.
