Dallas, TX--Sixteen eighth grade students will be named the 1996 recipients of the Stevie Ray Vaughan Memorial Scholarship Fund during graduation ceremonies at W.E. Greiner Middle School, on Saturday, May 18, 1996, at 7:30 PM. W.E. Greiner Middle School is located at 501 South Edgefield, in Dallas, TX. Epic Records has donated one hundred copies of "Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble's Greatest Hits" CD to be given to all past, present and future recipients. Including this year's recipients, a total of thirty three scholarships have been awarded in Mr. Vaughan's memory.

The Scholarship Fund, coordinated by the Communities Foundation of Texas, and Mrs. Martha Vaughan, (Stevie and Jimmie's mother) was creaded in Stevie's memory to assist music students pursue their educational dreams. This award is given to students in the 8th grade at the end of the school year. Teachers may recommend students who have demonstrated a strong interest and ability in music and have a desire to attend a college or university. The scholarship will be awarded when the student graduates from high school and enrolls in a two or four year college or university. This scholarship, being a dropout prevention incentive, is used to encourage students to stay in high school and have a concern for their studies. In the meantime, the award is invested and when distribution time is near, it is anticipated that the scholarship will have benefited from investment growth. The award will be forwarded directly to the school the student has selected.

Contributions to the Fund may be sent to the address listed below.
