The Award favors consideration of candidates who intend to pursue a career in music or for whom music will be a serious avocation. Eligible candidates must be in the 12th Grade and have participated in the MFGN Scholarship Competition. We are grateful for Gordon and Judy's unwavering support throughout the years.
