College Scholarships
Recognizing outstanding graduating seniors who have demonstrated dedication, leadership & musical excellence.
The annual Fetter Award is awarded to one or more graduating seniors who have contributed to the success of the youth orchestra. Graduating seniors are invited to apply for the scholarship named in honor of Beverly Stewart Fetter and her husband, Patrick. When the youth orchestra was first formed, Beverly stepped forth as one of its first volunteers. She willingly served in almost every official and unofficial role that it took to make the organization a successful one.
