The John A. Gula Music Scholarship was established in 2009 to honor the thirty-six years he dedicated to teaching his love of music to the students of the Plum Borough School District. The scholarship is given to a Plum High School senior who will major or minor in music. The scholarship is a $2000 award – $1000 given at the end of the student’s successful completion of their first semester freshman year; the second $1000 is given at the end of the student’s successful completion of their first semester sophomore year. Financial aspects of the scholarship are administered by the Plum Music Boosters.
