Miss Emma Johnson is one of our fine Vocal Scholarship Students. Emma has recently been admitted to Opera in the Ozarks, a very prestigious and highly selective summer opera training program for up-andcoming young artists. While she received a very fine scholarship, there still remains a balance of approximately $3000.00 for the program costs. I have established a fund to help defray her costs for this wonderful opportunity.
Our Emma is working on TWO majorsat Ole Miss, Vocal Performance and Theater arts. She is a member of the demanding Honors College program and maintains a 3.84 grade point average. Emma has been cast in lead roles in the Ole Miss Opera Theatre program and is a three-time winner of vocal competitions of the National Association of Teachers of Singing! She has accomplished all this while working at Marshall’s to support her education. Since August 2019, she has also served our church so faithfully before and during the pandemic.
Please consider contributing to this fund to help Emma pursue her
artistic life - dreams.
