D.R.Y.M.S.

Debbie Rule Youth Music Scholarship

D.R.Y.M.S. was established in 2021 by the Blues Society of the Ozarks, to honor Debbie Rule’s love for the Blues and music in general.

D.R.Y.M.S. provides financial assistance to aspiring young musicians of all musical genres, whose limited financial resources might prohibit them from attending a music learning opportunity.

The scholarship will award up to $500.00 per year to selected applicants, preferably from Springfield, Missouri or the surrounding Ozarks area. (Applicant can apply twice for the $500 scholarship. The applicant can apply up to three times for a reduced scholarship, so as not to exceed $1,250, total amount awarded.)

D.R.Y.M.S. is available to those under the age of 21, to study their instrument of choice by attending reputable camp seminars, or workshop programs in the United States. The scholarship could also be used to fund individual music lessons or tuition.

D.R.Y.M.S. is a one-year scholarship, but recipients may apply for the scholarship again in any subsequent year, prior to the age of 21.
