Frank Vail Music Memorial Scholarship
Frank Vail was a beloved patriarch who passed away in January after an incredible life.
Frank Vail was a man whose spirit echoed in the melodies he shared with his community. He wasn't one for grand gestures, but his love for music spoke volumes. Whether it was a church service or an open mic in a local coffee shop, Frank was there with his guitar, his voice warm and inviting like a familiar tune. Frank may have been a simple man, but the legacy he leaves behind is far from ordinary - a melody in his loved ones' hearts, a reminder of the power of music to connect, uplift, and bring joy. He exemplified that the greatest music isn't always found in concert halls, but in the shared spaces of a community, where a simple song can resonate for a lifetime.
This scholarship seeks to carry on the musical legacy of Frank Vail by supporting students who share that passion.
