Amy Ferguson Institute – June Lythgoe Music Scholarship Fund

Established by the Amy Ferguson Institute (now called the Echo Vocal Arts Alliance (EVAA), the earnings from this Fund provide the bi-annual June Lythgoe Music Scholarship to a recipient residing in the West Kootenay region to further their musical studies at a post-secondary institution, masterclass or a course of study at a summer music school.

The June Lythgoe Music Scholarship was established in 2006 as a memorial to June Lythgoe, a principal founder of the EVAA.

"I wanted to do something local, such as helping seniors in our hospital here, and the fund I chose was a good fit with what I wanted to do. The donation is also a memorial to my wife; it fulfilled her wishes too."
