Jennifer Naas Receives Gingery-Mack Scholarship

2017 Aug 31

Jennifer Naas, a freshman at Bob Jones University majoring in piano pedagogy, was one of four students to receive the Gingery-Mack Music Scholarship, a scholarship fund that provides financial aid to young Christian musicians at BJU. Naas, a resident of Waynesboro, received the scholarship for her major in piano pedagogy.

"Jennifer's audition was outstanding, as was her record of community involvement and service, both of which we look for in our scholarship winners, and we are thrilled that she accepted a Gingery-Mack Scholarship to attend BJU." says Dr. Dan Turner, president of the Gingery-Mack Music Scholarship Fund and director of instrumental activities at BJU. "Jennifer played with security, sensitivity, and refined musicality. She has a very bright future as a pianist and a piano educator."

Founded in 2014 by alumni, friends, and faculty of BJU, the scholarship fund, through competitive auditions and interviews, seeks to identify promising young musical artists and nurture their artistic growth in the same way that professors Gail and Alice Gingery and Warren Mack did for past generations of BJU music students. The recipients cover the entire spectrum of musical arts and come from all parts of the United States to study with the faculty of BJU.
