The Andy Stindt Scholarship Fund

The fund was created in 1997 after the tragic death of Andy and two of his friends, Michael Jamieson and Ashley Easterbrook.  All three were killed by a drunk driver.  The scholarship fund provides financial support to deserving young musicians in the Troy School District for summer music camp, private lessons and/or college.

Through the generous support of the community, we have been able to award  $96, 347 to 178 students.  The fund has also purchased sheet music, provided DSO master classes and brought visiting clinicians to the Athens Orchestras.

If you would like to support the young musicians in Troy, a monetary donation can be sent to:
