Amy R. Jacob (UMC) Music Scholarship

After Amy R. Jacob’s husband, an agriculturalist with Great Western Sugar Company, passed away, she set up a scholarship to honor his memory and provide an education in agriculture to students who might not otherwise have access. Then she decided she would like to do the same with a music scholarship in her name, only she wanted to enjoy knowing that she was helping students while she was still alive. “Specializing in a particular area of music (vocal or instrumental) adds a depth and richness to life,” she explains. A long-time supporter of the Northwest Civic Orchestra and Master Chorale, Amy’s scholarship gives preference (but is not limited) to members of the United Methodist Church.
