Earl Moon Scholarship

Never been to Harmony College? You may qualify for the Earl Moon Scholarship offered by the Whittier (California) Chapter.

EARL MOON SCHOLARSHIP TO HARMONY UNIVERSITY

The Whittier, California, Chapter of the Far Western District has established a Memorial Endowment Fund in the name of legendary Barbershopper Earl Moon. He was their chorus director for more than 25 years. His long-standing reputation as a premier faculty member at Harmony University is known to anyone who ever attended Harmony University.

The Earl Moon Memorial Endowment Fund will, in perpetuity, provide tuition payments for a limited number of deserving Barbershoppers each year. Although the fund is managed by Harmony Foundation, the actual selection of candidates is managed by the Whittier Chapter Past Presidents organization.

Earl not only was a great quartet coach, chorus director, arranger and teacher, but also a true champion of the Joe Barbershoppers of the Society. The Whittier Chapter is basing the selection criteria on the principles that characterize such members. Earl gave much of his time and talent to helping these men become better singers and learn the history of our great hobby.

QUALIFICATIONS

The candidate must be:

1. A member of the Society for at least three years.

2. A member who is active and involved in his chapter.

3. A member who has never attended Harmony University and might not otherwise have the opportunity to do so.

4. A member who will personally benefit from attending Harmony University.

5. A member who will bring his new-found knowledge back and share it with his chapter.
