Katherine Taylor Receives Gingery-Mack Scholarship

2016 Sep 8

Katherine Taylor, a freshman at Bob Jones University majoring in orchestral instrument performance, was one of 8 students to receive the Gingery-Mack Music Scholarship, a scholarship fund that provides financial aid to young Christian musicians at BJU. Taylor, a resident of North Agusta, received the scholarship for her abilities in violin performance.

"Katie is a phenomenal young violinist with a wonderful, lively sound and fluid technique," says Dr. Dan Turner, president of the Gingery-Mack Music Scholarship Fund and director of instrumental activities at BJU. "Her audition was fantastic, as was her record of community involvement and service, both of which we look for in our scholarship winners. We are thrilled that she accepted a Gingery-Mack Scholarship to attend BJU."

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.
