Los Angeles-Based Scholarship Program Founded by Benjy Grinberg Recently Picked Four Winners
LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / June 23, 2022 / The Benjy Grinberg Scholarship has announced its winners for the academic year 2022-2023. After a thorough review of the entries, three awardees were chosen, namely Ashlee Whitmire of The University of Oklahoma, Morghan Allen of The University of Michigan, Megan Epler of the University of Maryland Baltimore, and Aaliya Johnson-Dennis of Sinclair Community College.
Pursuing a college degree is no easy feat. Not only should you have the patience and determination to complete your classes, but having stable financial resources to pay for tuition and other expenses is also extremely important. The recent pandemic has proven to be challenging not only for employees but also for students who need the finances in order to pursue their dreams.
Founder and President of Rostrum Records Benjy Grinberg understand the struggles and inner desires of students. Being exposed to music at a young age, Benjy strived to turn his passion into a profitable career. He attributes his success not only through talent and hard work, but also the support and resources he had to make everything possible. This is the reason why he founded the Benjy Grinberg Scholarship program. Benjy desires to grant students with the financial support they need to fulfill their career aspirations.
For the school year 2022-2023, the program presented four winners, Ashlee Whitmire, Morghan Allen, and Megan Epler, and Aaliya Johnson-Dennis, who will all be awarded $1,000 in the fall semester of 2022. All submissions required to answer the following essay prompt: "Many often find music comforting during difficult times. How has music played an impact on your life and educational journey?"
Ashlee Whitmire of The University of Oklahoma answered this question in a very profound essay. What stood out and spoke to the judges was this quote from her essay, "Music gave me something to control when my world felt uncontrollable."
Morghan Allen who is currently attenting The University of Michigan, explained in her powerful essay the following, "Music has allowed me to feel connected with my dad, someone who I remember nothing of. Piano has become a tool for me to cope with his death and make him a part of my life even though he is not physically here anymore."
Megan Epler enrolled at the University of Maryland Baltimore reminisced in her essay how difficult teen years can be. She explained, "The music was the glue that held us together and got me through the whirl of emotions that were my socially anxious, depressed teenage years."
Aaliya Johnson-Dennis of Sinclair Community College explained how music calms her in moments of crisis. "Music is the first thing I turn to when I get upset or angry, it eases my conscience, and touches me with its mesmerizing melodies," she explained.
