Our Awards
We couldn't be more stoked!
We’re so proud of all that our talented and hard-working students (and alumni) accomplish!
Larry Adams Scholarship
In the late 1960’s, Larry Adams was a young innovative educator who wanted to give his students hands-on, real-world experience with the electronic concepts he was teaching. The result was a radio station-KNHC.
First awarded in 2024, the Larry Adams Academic Scholarship honors a student who spent a minimum of two semesters at DANCE 89.5 and, through an essay, audio, or video presentation demonstrates how their experience at the station impacted their life and informs their future.
We congratulate:
2026 | Emma Johnson, Jake Thoren & Araya Trujillo
2025 | Uly Smucker
2024 | Jack Geokezas & Gavin Kelly
