Jenn Bialy Memorial Music Scholarship

Jenn Bialy Memorial Music Scholarship

Jenn Bialy was an accomplished vocalist who learned to sing through many years with her church choir, and later on stage with a rock n’roll band, opening for Atlantic Recording Artist ZEBRA at BB King Blues Club in New York, N.Y. as well with other national acts. Jenn helped create North Jersey’s most successful “open mic” events at a local venue. She enjoyed a long career in payroll at Costco in Clifton, N.J. and was loved and respected by her colleagues who counted on her.
Jenn tragically passed away on May 1, 2022. Her partner, John Race, created this scholarship in her memory to benefit a music student in the School of Contemporary Arts.

“Jenn left this world too soon, but I know her memory will be preserved and she will help students now and in the future chase their dreams,” says John.
