The Chrystal E. Williams Scholarship was founded in 2004 because it was realized that there was a need to help students wishing to pursue a career in the performing arts. It is my hope and dream that future young performers will not have to concern themselves with funding for school but will only have to concern themselves with perfecting their talent and sharing God’s gift with the rest of the world. It is also my hope that more young performers from the area will come to know that there are people who support them and their budding careers.
