The Speir Collins Award is given to support young people in furthering their music education. It serves as a fitting memorial to James Speir Collins whose long life was enriched by his love of learning, music, and the arts. A gifted singer, he, in turn, enriched the lives of many through his musical performances in churches, concert halls, and community gatherings from his childhood years into his 90s.
