WOLFEBORO — Great Waters, a promoter of musical performances in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire, is now accepting scholarship applications from high school seniors and college undergraduate and graduate students interested in pursuing a career in some facet of musical performance or music education.
The Great Waters Scholarship Program has contributed financial assistance to students in the Lakes Region since its inception 29 years ago. In 2021, the program was renamed the Barbara and Dave Lobdell Scholarship Fund in honor of a couple who have served the organization in various capacities for many years. The program is partly funded through the generosity of donors, including the Nancy P. Marriott Foundation. In addition, each year, one dollar of every ticket sold is donated to the Fund.
In 2024, awards went to four high school graduating seniors: Liam Fehey, William Blandini, Elliott Giessler, and Erin Rawnsley. Awards also went to college students Jacob Hamel and Olivia Fanjoy. Kurtis Sheffer, a Kingswood Regional High School student, also received an award to attend the Summer Youth Music School at UNH.
Scholarship recipients are announced in June and honored on stage at the opening concert of the 2025 Great Waters season. Interested students can apply at greatwaters.org.
