Pictured are recipients Morgan Baker, Christian Briscoe, and Elliette VanWagner

The Branch County Community Foundation holds two summer camp scholarship funds, the Irma L. English Memorial Music Scholarship, and the Wendi A. Baker Music & Theatre Summer Camp Scholarship. Both opportunities are for 6th - 12th-grade students who are attending a summer camp in Michigan, but the criteria for each scholarship are a little different.

The Irma L. English Memorial Music Scholarship is available to any band, choir, or orchestra student attending one of the five area Branch County schools (Bronson, Coldwater, Pansophia, Quincy, and Union City). The Wendi A. Baker Music & Theatre Summer Camp Scholarship is for students attending Coldwater Legg Middle School or Coldwater High School seeking to increase proficiency in music, choral, or theatre experience.

This year, 3 students were selected for the ILE Memorial Music Scholarship, and 2 students were selected for the Wendi A. Baker Music & Theatre Summer Camp Scholarship! The total amount of scholarships given out between the two funds was $3,600.
