The Blues Foundation has expanded its longstanding Blues in the Schools youth education efforts with a new initiative beginning in 2010 entitled Generation Blues. This scholarship program will allow qualified applicants under the age of 25 to study their instrument of choice at reputable camps, seminars and workshop programs such as Port Townsend Acoustic Blues Festival, Augusta Heritage Center and Fernando Jones’ Columbia College Blues Camp.
Camps, seminars and workshops attended by Generation Blues scholarship recipients may take place throughout the year in the recipients’ choice of locations. Participants are awarded the scholarships on a bi-annual basis, and participation is open to anyone under the age of 25 and interested in the blues.
The V-Knights were recently added to the Blues Foundation Blues Kids page located at http://www.blues.org/#ref=bits_blueskids
