The Courtney Granger Memorial Award provides young musicians in Acadiana an opportunity to apply for financial assistance to attend local and national camps for traditional music, provide mentors for private and small group music lessons, and instruments or instrument repairs to aspiring traditional musicians — all opportunities that were so very important to Courtney.

Courtney believed that our culture will only survive a generation at a time and always said, “why should I charge anyone for lessons when my lessons were given free to me”.

AcA and the Granger Family recognizes the value of diverse representation in arts and culture and strongly encourages women, people of color, LGBTQA+ individuals, people with disabilities, members of ethnic minorities, foreign-born residents, and veterans to apply for all relevant opportunities.
