Kenton J Hull, Jr. Music Education Scholarship

The Kenton J. Hull, Jr. Music Education Scholarship Award was established by the TwoRiversHigh School and McGavock High School Band Alumni Association in memory of the band director of the former TwoRiversHigh School and founding director of the McGavockHigh School bands.

Kenny Hull inspired hundreds of his students to pursue the highest level of excellence in all facets of band performance. Many were motivated by his example to pursue music as a profession. We dedicate this scholarship to McGavock students interested in pursuing music as a career and who will strive for the excellence that Kenny Hull exemplified. There was a standard set on the day that the doors to McGavockHigh School opened and this scholarship is intended to aid students whose sights are set on advancement of that standard.

The Scholarship will be awarded to a graduating senior from McGavockHigh School for use towards higher education in the field of music.

The amount of the one-time scholarship award will be determined annually based on the amount of funds in the account. Funds will be disbursed directly to the institution of higher learning, on behalf of the scholarship recipient after they have been accepted and enrolled in their music program.

The Scholarship Selection Committee will use the following criteria to determine the scholarship winner:

Demonstrated community service and spirit through involvement in school and/or community (including church) organizations, with an emphasis on music

Individual initiatives which exemplify character traits such as consideration for others, loyalty to community and country, respect for the beliefs and needs of others
