American Recorder
Society scholarships are paid from memorial funds
established by friends and family members of former
ARS members Andrew Acs, Jennifer Wedgwood Lehmann,
and Maraget S. DeMarsh. Additional funds are
available from a scholarship fundraising drive
launched in the spring of 2003. Contributions to the
scholarship fund are always welcome. Please send
donations to the ARS office, indicating that they
are for scholarship use.
