The annual award from the M. Junice Headley Music Education Fund with the Battlefords and District Community Foundation was recently presented to Susannah Ulrich of Scott.
Susannah has been studying piano since she was six years old. She competes in the Unity Music Festival each year and plans to continue with her music studies in piano and voice.
Students who successfully complete their Royal Conservatory of Music Practical Exam for Grades 7 through 9 are encouraged to apply for this award each year. Headly was a piano teacher for 57 years and established this award to recognize the achievements of piano students and encourage more musical exploration.
This award is from one of 22 funds that the Battlefords and District Community Foundation currently administers. Annual grants support a number of community interests from the arts and health care to post-secondary scholarships and recreation. BDCF distributed more than $34,000 in community grants and scholarships in the past year.
