The scholarship has been established by the alumni of Naperville Central High School’s music program as a result of the 20 years (1965-1985) that John Pearce served as its choral instructor, musical director and Music Department Chairman.

These former students benefitted greatly from Mr. Pearce’s musical gifts, direction and discipline in the arts and have created this scholarship in his memory.

The $1,000 scholarship will be awarded annually to an outstanding Performing Arts graduating senior from either the NCHS choir, band, orchestra or theater arts program.

Prospective award recipients will be responsible for completing an extensive application process that will include information about themselves, a 500-word essay and two personal references – letters of recommendation – from individuals who are familiar with the student’s work.  Outstanding applicants will be asked to present a live audition which will determine the recipient of the award.  The first winner will be announced in May of 2015.

For additional information, contact Raeleen Horn, Steering Committee Chair/NCHS Class of 1976, at  (847)987-1966  or raeleenhorn@gmail.com.
