Easterly wins Interlochen scholarship
INTERLOCHEN, Mich. – Caleb Easterly of Bowling Green has been named one of only 46 Emerson Scholars and
will receive a full scholarship to attend Interlochen Arts Camp, one of the premier programs for
aspiring young musicians. Emerson scholars are selected from among the top applicants to the competitive
summer arts program.
Easterly will study the percussion and perform with Interlochen Arts Camp’s renowned youth ensembles.
Easterly has attended Bowling Green High School and will spend his senior year at Interlochen Arts
Academy in Interlochen, Mich. He hopes to attend a major conservatory such as Julliard, Manhattan, or
Eastman to become a professional musician performing in an orchestra. His parents are William Easterly
and Debra Nicholson.
Sponsored by Emerson of St. Louis, the Emerson Scholar Program provides the opportunity for outstanding
high school musicians to attend Interlochen Arts Camp, located in northwest Michigan. The Emerson
Scholars Award provides full tuition, private lessons, and room and board for the six-week summer
program. This is the 19th year Emerson has sponsored the scholarship program.
Easterly also received the scholarship last summer. This is the first year that Emerson scholars could
receive the scholarship for a second year. According Interlochen spokesman Christopher Hintz, five of
the about 50 recipients are repeat honorees.
"Receiving an Emerson Scholarship two years in a row says a lot about Caleb’s dedication and
skill."
