The GRADY-RAYAM PRIZE in Sacred Music is a college entry opportunity awarded annually by The "Negro Spiritual" Scholarship Foundation, Inc. It is named for the late Bishop Thomas J. GRADY and for Curtis RAYAM Jr., voice teacher and renowned opera singer. Senior high school students of Afro-ethnic descent in selected regions nationwide may enter a vocal competition to rehearse and perform Negro spirituals. Winners and runners-up earn tuition assistance grants, and are frequently presented in concert. The GRADY-RAYAM PRIZE Fund is lodged within a trust group of charitable endowments, The Community Foundation of Central Florida, Inc. |
