AUSTIN COMMUNITY COLLEGE ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIP

Using money raised in the Red River Rising Online Auction, Moody Center made a $15,000 gift to provide ongoing support for aspiring music business professionals enrolled in ACC’s Audio Technology & Industry Program. Recipients of the Moody Center Endowed Scholarship will not only receive financial support but will also gain access to mentorship and shadowing opportunities with Moody Center’s award-winning team, providing invaluable industry insight and hands-on experience.

"Music is the heartbeat of Central Texas, and this endowed scholarship is a testament to the power of collaboration in removing barriers and empowering students to follow their dreams. With Moody Center's support, our students will have the chance to thrive in the vibrant music industry that defines our community."

- ACC Chancellor Dr. Russell Lowery-Hart
