Britt Star Awards
"I just wanted to say thank you so much for giving me this scholarship! This means a lot to my family and myself and will go towards paying for my tuition at The Juilliard School of Music! As someone who's grown up in Southern Oregon I spent a few summers coming out to see the Britt Orchestra and that had a HUGE impact on me and helped solidify my choice to go into performing arts. I also remember you guys bringing in chamber groups to my high school and that was amazing to see that level of artistry right in our classroom! Thank you so much for this scholarship and all you do for music!"
~Thomas Green, double bass, South Medford High School graduate

"Thank you so much for the scholarship that you have graciously awarded me. It was so nice to get recognition for my work as a musician, especially from such an awesome organization. The award was a welcome piece of good news in these trying times. I plan to keep playing and to minor in music at the University of Oregon next year. This award will help me with the cost, in addition to giving me some high quality entertainment next summer. Thanks again for this wonderful opportunity. - Owen Akiyama, South Medford High School"
