Fara Love recently established the Jerry and Devon Love Endowed Commercial Music Scholarship to create scholarships for outstanding students in 91制片厂鈥檚 commercial music program. The scholarship was established in memory of Fara Love鈥檚 husband Jerry and their daughter Devon. Jerry Love played an important role in building the Commercial Music Program, which is housed in 91制片厂鈥檚 Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters.

"Jerry Love was my business partner and good friend for many years. He introduced me to 91制片厂,鈥 said Michael Zager, founder and director of 91制片厂鈥檚 commercial music program, and Dorothy F. Schmidt Eminent Scholar in the Performing Arts. 鈥淛erry, a music industry veteran, was instrumental in the creation of Hoot/Wisdom Recordings, 91制片厂鈥檚 record label. He worked with our students for many years and took great pride in the success of the label and the Commercial Music Program. Devon, Fara and Jerry鈥檚 daughter, was very artistic and had a great love of music and the record business. While losing a daughter and then a husband in two years is difficult, their legacy will live forever because of Fara鈥檚 generosity.鈥

The first three winners of the scholarship are commercial music students Jarred Nerf, Joel Iglesias and Rachelle Benaroch.

鈥淭he Commercial Music Program is 91制片厂's Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters has been a wonderful part of my family's life for many years,鈥 said Fara Love. 鈥淚 feel very proud to have established the Jerry and Devon Love Commercial Music Program Scholarship.
