2016 Scholarship Awards Night was a bigger success
Our second year scholarship program has been a bigger success than 2015! Thanks to all our donors, participants, judges, musicians and volunteers.
This year we selected eight finalists from a total of 80 pre-screened participants, among which we had 3 instrumentalists! Like in 2015, Mr. Pratap Roy, the renowned accordionist and chief judge offered to teach “free” to help the “scholars” going forward. All the eight finalists, in addition to the cash awards, will also be getting special coaching free of cost for the year 2016.
Here is a link to All India Radio’s coverage of the scholarship event. The All India Radio’s audio broadcast was recorded live and then converted into a video clip by two separate volunteers. We thanks them both!
