Scholarship Awards to be Announced Mid-May
Each Spring we receive over 200 scholarship applications that need to be read by three different volunteer evaluators. That makes for over 600 readings! We are currently working madly on this process and will be able to announce award winners here in mid-May after they have been notified. An evening reception recognizing the winners will be held on Tuesday, June 5, 2012.
The Mike Condello (1946-1995) Scholarship Fund for North HS Students
In 1962, 16-year-old Mike Condello was hired as music director for Teen Beat and The Wallace & Ladmo Show at KPHO-TV. Over the next 10 years, he performed on more than two dozen records. In 1979, Mike played lead guitar for a new-wave pop band in L.A. called ELTON DUCK. The band recorded a dozen tracks for Arista Records (now a division of Sony), but these recordings were shelved until the spring of 2012.
Thanks to an agreement reached with Sony Music Entertainment, Mike’s musical legacy has been fulfilled and continues to inspire fans all over the world. While supplies last, anyone who donates $20 or more to The Mike Condello Music Scholarship Fund will receive one copy of this limited edition CD as a thank you gift. This fund benefits college-bound students at Mike’s alma mater, North High School in Phoenix.
