Richard and Barbara Osborne Scholarship.
Mark and Carol Moore established this
scholarship to honor Carol’s parents, Richard
and Barbara Osborne, and their 74 years
of collective service to Butler. Dick “Ozzie”
Osborne began his career at Butler in 1963 and
continued as a full-time faculty member until
his retirement in 1997. Barbara Osborne was
hired in 1971 as an adjunct professor in Butler
University Department of Music where she
served for the next 28 years. The recipient will
be a full-time student with a major in music.
The scholarship will be awarded to an incoming
freshman and will be renewable for four
years as long as the recipient maintains a grade
point average of 3.0.
Frank N. and Edith C. Owings Scholarship
in Music. This fund was established through
the Frank N. Owings Family Foundation, Inc.
to provide financial assistance to students in the
Jordan College of Fine Arts. The Owings’ son,
Frank Owings Jr., earned a master of science
degree from Butler, and his wife Patte is a
member of the Class of 1982. The scholarship
will be awarded to one student. The first preference
would be to award this scholarship to a
student majoring in music with a concentration
on performance. The second preference will be
to award this scholarship to a student majoring
in music with a concentration on composition.
The scholarship is renewable as long as the
recipient continues to major in music.
Mary F. Pearl Memorial Scholarship.
Endowed through the estate of Indianapolis
artist Mary Fiel Pearl, this scholarship goes to
JCFA students who “compose the best musical
composition or compositions in the field of
religious choral music or symphonic music
principally, but not to the complete exclusion
of what is known as ‘Bluegrass.’”
Maurice and Rosalind Pickett Scholarship.
The Picketts, aficionados and collectors of
classical music, established this scholarship
through an estate gift in 2000, explaining,
“We have both been interested in the beauty
of the organ. We’re afraid it’s dying out, and
maybe this will help. We’re interested in
preserving the great organ music of composers
like Johann Sebastian Bach.” The recipient is
selected by the dean of the Jordan College of
Fine Arts in consultation with the faculty. The
recipient must be a full-time student of the
Butler University
organ in his or her third or fourth year of study,
and the award is to be made on the basis of
musical achievement and financial need. If no
student of organ qualifies, the scholarship may
be awarded to a qualified music major.
Presser Foundation Scholarship. This prestigious
award is given solely on the basis of merit
to an outstanding music major at or after the
end of the student’s junior year. The Presser
Foundation Scholarship, awarded at Butler
since the late 1950s, has been made possible by
grants from the Presser Foundation, established
by the late Theodore Presser of Pennsylvania.
Mary Frances Newhouse Roush Scholarship.
This award was established by the late Robert
Roush, Class of 1947 and husband of Mary
Frances Newhouse Roush, who graduated from
Jordan College in 1939. Mrs. Roush was active
in community service and in 1976 received
the Wilking Distinguished Music Award for
her contributions to Indiana as a musician and
educator. The award is presented to one or
more full-time junior or senior violin students.
Recipients should have a cumulative grade
point average of at least 2.5, have financial need
and demonstrate service to the college in the
string area.
Saenger-Chor Internship in Vocal Music.
Through this internship, students majoring in
vocal music — vocal performance, choral music
education or arts administration in applied vocal
music — gain hands-on experience with the
Indianapolis Saenger Chor. The Sanger Chor
was one of many organizations established in
the city’s German-American community to sustain
German language and culture. Preference
is given to undergraduates entering the junior
or senior year and who are residents of Central
Indiana counties.

to encourage students of piano and/or strings
who have demonstrated artistic talent and the
potential for exemplary achievement.
