As a high school junior, Larissa Yee (Sacramento, CA) created Students in Harmony, a student-run organization that performs seasonally for patients in local hospitals. For Larissa, the organization is a way to return the love and generosity her family received when they immigrated to the United States. Larissa will be attending the University of California, Berkeley where she plans to major in Cognitive Science.
“I am honored and beyond grateful to be selected as a recipient of the Musicians Making a Difference Scholarship,” says Larissa. “Music has been an important part of my life since I began learning the violin in first grade, and as I begin college at the University of California, Berkeley this Fall, I plan on staying involved in musical ensembles and student organizations.”
