Another Damuth Scholar

Two weekends ago, Emily and I went to NWC so that she could register for her freshmen classes.  After she registered and we were walking out, the head of the performing arts department approached her and said that she recognized her from her audition video for the Damuth Scholarship, a four year partial music scholarship.  The woman then turned and introduced Emily to a faculty member as "our 2024 Damuth Scholar".  I didn't hear her, but Emily told me as we were walking out of the building - as we had not received any communication from the school, she was hopeful but still a bit uncertain.  That afternoon, we received our financial aid package from NWC, which included the Damuth Scholarship; and two days later, she finally received the letter from the Damuth selection committee - she is the scholarship recipient!!  We are so incredibly proud of Emily for overcoming her fears (performing in front of people) to go through the application and audition process and then winning this prestigious award!!
