Frank Steinbeck Memorial Scholarship
Established in 2021, the Frank Steinbeck Memorial Scholarship was created in memory of a 45-year GCS member, Frank Steinbeck. At his passing, Frank’s family requested that individuals make contributions to GCS in his honor. The Board of Directors used those funds to establish this annual scholarship for graduating Youth Choral members who were not planning to major in music but were planning to continue singing in their college choirs. See past recipients.
