Leander Gray, a graduating senior of the Conservatory program, was recently awarded a William R. Kenan, Jr. Excellence Scholarship from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts (UNCSA). Kenan Excellence Scholars are chosen based on measures that include abilities in their arts discipline, capacity to lead and motivate, extracurricular endeavors, and academic achievement.
