For the 4th consecutive year, Sound Productions is offering a scholarship to one student in pursuit of a technical audiovisual degree. Sound Productions is a distributor of professional and commercial audio, video, and lighting products. The company’s CEO Joshua Curlett established the scholarship in 2017, but this year he is making some changes to strengthen its impact and honor an important part of Sound Production’s history.
The first change is especially meaningful to the company, renaming the scholarship after the company’s late Executive Vice President, Jeffrey Lance Humphrey. “This scholarship will honor one of our leaders who was very passionate about education, says Curlett. “He constantly advocated for education and he’d be proud that we are investing in the next generation.” The annual scholarship is awarded to one student in the amount of $2,500 and will now be called the “Jeff Humphrey Technical Scholarship.”
SoundPro is also expanding the scholarship’s eligibility this year, so that students across the U.S. can apply, rather than the former regional program. When asked about the modification, Curlett explains, “We wanted this opportunity to match our expansion into Wisconsin and other future metroplexes. It was the right time to extend our reach so that we can support youth across the nation, not just locally.”
Scholarship applicants must be admitted to (or in the admissions process for) a post-secondary educational program at an accredited college university, or technical school. Applicants must be enrolled/plan to enroll in a technical audiovisual degree path.
