Eric Engelhardt Memorial Scholarship

In loving memory of Eric Engelhardt, our former artistic director and a passionate advocate for the power of music who unexpectedly passed away in June of 2023, we invite you to contribute to the Eric Engelhardt Memorial Scholarship.

This scholarship serves as a tribute to Eric's enduring legacy, providing an aspiring musician the opportunity to attend the BHS Harmony University in 2025. By contributing to this fund, you are directly supporting the education and growth of passionate individuals who share Eric's love for harmony and the art of barbershop singing.

Eric was more than just a musician; he was a dedicated individual who believed in the transformative impact of music on people's lives. His love for a cappella harmony was infectious, leaving an indelible mark on all those fortunate enough to know him. Eric's commitment to fostering musical education and his unwavering support for the Barbershop Harmony Society's mission continue to inspire us.

By alleviating financial barriers, you help ensure that a talented, passionate individual can access the unparalleled educational experience offered at Harmony University.
