2017 GIRLS RISING SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION FORM

Deadline September 12, 2017

Girls Rising believes our girls need to dream big! We are offering 2 education-based scholarships to make those dreams a reality.

Milt Okun was an American arranger, record producer, conductor, singer and founder of Cherry Lane Music Publishing Company, Inc. Okun transformed the careers of a dozen or more major U.S. artists who under Okun's tutelage became some of the most successful musical acts of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. A special on PBS alludes to Okun as one of the most influential music producers in history. The Milt Okun Scholarship awards $2,500 to a female student entering her junior or senior year of high school in Spetember, 2017 who lives on Long Island and who excels in music and/or the arts.
