Just as Ray Rothgeb's career
included all of the fine arts areas of choral and
instrumental music, theatre, and the arts - the Rothgeb
Fine Arts Scholarship has been designed to benefit all
areas of the fine arts - encouraging choral music first.

The Rothgeb Independence Community College
Foundation Fine Arts Scholarship Benefit began in the fall of
2004 after Ray Rothgeb retired. The event was inspired by
a former member of one of Ray's church choirs, Bille Bell
Fredholm, when she called to tell Ray that her website honored
him as her inspiration for loving music.
After that call, Ray's wife, former alumni Donna Taylor,
contacted many of Ray's former students from Wichita, Belle
Plaine, and Independence as well as Neewollah performers and
those associated with ICC productions, to begin a benefit to
endow scholarships for the ICC Fine Arts Department.
The first benefit featured approximately 70 vocalists. An
alumni art display ran conjointly with the event much as it does
today, although this portion of the celebration has evolved into
a featured artist's exhibit.
The Rothgeb's goal with the endowed scholarship fund is to have
a student in music, art, and theatre receiving a scholarship
each semester. Approximately, $12,000.00 is needed to
support each scholarship endowment.
