Tom Gardin Memorial Scholarship

Grow the scholarship fund for the next generation of great guitarists!
Tom Gardin was a great friend of the South Bay Guitar Society who gave many wonderful performances at the SBGS Open Mic. After his untimely passing, his family and friends created the Tom Gardin Memorial Scholarship Fund in his memory and asked SBGS to administer it. Each year the Fund selects that year's outstanding contributor to guitar education and offers a grant to be used to further guitar education in the Bay Area. SBGS administers the FUND at no cost, so every dollar contributed goes directly to the Fund's purpose. Please consider a contribution to this worthy cause. Grants already awarded:
  • 2013 Santa Teresa High School Guitar Ensemble

  • 2014 Evergreen Valley High School Guitar Ensemble

  • 2015 Oakland School for the Arts Guitar Ensemble

  • 2016 Oakland School for the Arts Guitar Ensemble

  • 2017 Las Vegas Academy Guitar Ensemble
