The David Archuleta Music Scholarship Has Reached and Exceeded Our Goal for the Year

Although we have reached our goal of $5000 and exceeded it, ALL the donations received after our $5000 goal will be placed into The David Archuleta Music Scholarship account and applied to the 2011 scholarship. If you have donated or plan on donating by March 31st, your name will be placed in the journal to be given to David as a memento of the first scholarship in his honor.

The cornerstones of The David Archuleta Music Scholarship reflect David's lifestyle, work ethic and values:

Dedication: those who can, do. Those who are dedicated can do more than they ever imagined, reach out to others, and change lives.
Aptitude: talent is not born – it is created, practiced, and mastered, but never perfected, for there is always more to learn in the art of music.
Perseverance: the drive and the enthusiasm to keep pressing on despite circumstances does not just build character – it reveals character.
Music: the passion for music awakens and never dies – it comes from the outermost corners of the heart and fills the soul.
