The family of the late Lorne C. Small, for whom a memorial trophy has been presented annually since 1943 for excellence in the string competition, recently established the Small Family Memorial Scholarship to be awarded to the most promising student in voice.

The family established the scholarship and trophy to acknowledge the enjoyment they received as participants in the music festival.
