The Ruth Perry Award was established by First Church through donations from its members to honor Ruth Perry, who was music director from 1931 to 1971, for her contributions to the musical ministry of First Church.  The intent of the award is to recognize those graduating high school seniors who have participated significantly in the musical life of the church.

Each year the Music Team may vote to award one or more awards from the interest accrued in the Ruth Perry Award Fund.  The recipient(s) and the amount(s) of the individual award(s) will be determined by a majority vote of members of the Music Team, the Minister and Director of Music.  It will be the prerogative of the Music Team to abstain from awarding any grant in any given year.

 

The application is open to high school seniors. The award(s) will be given on a Sunday in June.
