The Katherine Parker Memorial ScholarshipKatherine Parker was a 2016 graduate of Rockford High School who attended Western Michigan University’s School of Music for two years. Later she determined that changing lives through social work was her calling so she began studies at Grand Valley State University, worked as an ABA specialist who helped children with autism, and sang with the choirs at GVSU. Her unexpected death, at age 22, left many people grief stricken but thinking of a way to honor her. The Katherine Parker Memorial Scholarship is a $1000 scholarship awarded to a member of the RHS Choirs who has shown dedication, leadership, and through their actions, a consistent desire to help others no matter the personal struggle.Every dollar raised goes directly to the scholarship fund. Zeffy will suggest a fee to help keep this free for non-profits; if this is prohibitive for you, just zero that out!

Participation fees and donations support music, commissioned choral works, awards, and dress/tux cleaning and fittings.
