Joe Williams Scholarships are for jazz students who are talented, driven to succeed, and who are generally expected to conduct themselves well throughout their college years.
To this end, the Foundation has chosen to date to enlist the experience of leading music schools and their faculties in awarding the Joe Williams Scholarships.
In addition to helping build the next generation of musicians, the Foundation also seeks to determine which schools and other music organizations are most effective in their teaching, and communicate best with thefoundation on scholarship winners' progress and achievements.
Joe Williams Scholarship winners at those schools to date are:
