Our Mission: To provide musically inclined, outstandingly dedicated high school students with the funds to strive for musical achievements in an instructional establishment of higher education.

This music scholarship for Murray High School seniors has been approved by David Archuleta. We were given permission by David to use his name in association with this effort.

2011 Scholarship Recipients and Notes

Murray High School students Adrien Baldwin and Stephanie Schafer were chosen as this year's recipients of The David Archuleta Music Scholarship - 2011. Each was kind enough to write a thank you note acknowledging your generosity in supporting the scholarship fund with your donations.

Adrien's thank you note and Stephanie's thank you note.

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.
     
  • David Archuleta
  • 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.
     
Each year a scholarship will be awarded to a senior student(s) from David Archuleta's home town high school — Murray High School in Murray, Utah. Take a moment to review the music scholarship criteria and submit your scholarship application by April 29, 2011.
