The Frederick Family Scholarship
In Honor of Becky Clinton
Beginning in the 2014-2015 season, Jeff and Amy Frederick and their daughters have been providing OYSing! with two
$300 scholarships in honor of founder and former Executive Director Becky Clinton. In addition, we now have two more
$300 scholarships in honor of Robert Lee Kidd III, a wonderful Oklahoma music educator who passed away in 2011. Since
2019 and then in 2024, we now have two $300 Glover Family Scholarships, and in 2022, we added the $300 Jerry Cox
Scholarship. In 2023, we added two half scholarships @ $150 from the Judith Ford Scholarship.
In short, we have 7 full scholarships and 2 half scholarships to award in April!
