At the William “Bill” McKee Legacy Scholarship & Grant Foundation, our mission is rooted in opportunity. Just as Bill dedicated his life to helping students grow through music, mentorship, and encouragement, we are committed to carrying forward his legacy by providing resources that open doors for future generations.

Scholarships for Students

Education is the key to empowerment. Our scholarships are designed to support students who dream of pursuing higher education, whether in music, the arts, or other fields of study. These scholarships aim to:

Remove financial barriers that might prevent a student from continuing their education.

Recognize dedication, talent, and perseverance in young people.

Encourage students to pursue their passions with confidence, knowing they have a community behind them.

Grants for Programs and Educators

In addition to scholarships, we are committed to strengthening the communities where students learn and grow. Our grants will:

Support music and arts programs in schools.

Provide resources for educators to enhance their classrooms.

Fund community initiatives that inspire creativity, leadership, and lifelong learning.

Why This Matters

For Bill, teaching was never just about music—it was about shaping lives. Every scholarship and grant we award reflects his belief that with encouragement and opportunity, young people can achieve incredible things. These investments are not only about financial support—they are about building confidence, nurturing potential, and creating a ripple effect of hope and inspiration.

Looking Ahead

As we grow, we will share the stories of scholarship recipients and the impact of funded programs. These stories will highlight the real difference your support makes—and the legacy of William “Bill” McKee that continues to inspire each new generation.

Together, we can turn dreams into reality. Every scholarship awarded and every grant funded is a step forward in carrying Bill’s legacy of compassion, education, and community.
