The Gillian Bernard Music Scholarship Application Form

The Gillian Bernard Music Scholarship
Gillian Bernard was an educator who graduated from Andrews University with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education in 2013. She died unexpectedly on her birthday, November 6th, 2020. Gillian, however, had a passion for music. She enjoyed singing and playing soprano and alto saxophone. She joined the USC University Choir and Orchestra in 2018 as an alto.
