CLARKSVILLE, TN − A generous gift from Michael S. Humnicky has established the Dr. Solie Fott Strings Scholarship Endowment for Austin Peay State University students. The donation was made to honor a longtime friend and APSU alumna who wished to remain anonymous and requested the scholarship be named for her teacher and mentor.
The scholarship will benefit music majors whose primary instrument is the violin, with preference given to female students. Funding is renewable for up to four years at the undergraduate level and two years at the graduate level for students who meet a 3.2 minimum GPA requirement.
“Music has been important to me throughout my life, and I have a keen understanding of the role Dr. Fott played in the lives of his students from the experiences of my friend,” Humnicky said. “I hope this scholarship inspires other female students to pursue their music degree at APSU and that they have the same enrichment throughout their lives.”…
