Taryn Brody Memorial Scholarship

Taryn Brody was born on Friday, May 13, 1994 and graduated from C.M. Russell High School in 2012. She moved from Great Falls to Seattle, Washington three months after graduation in hopes to fulfill her dream of theatre.

Even though she was shy, Taryn became involved in the CMR drama department her freshman year. Although she wanted to be on stage and act, she shined doing makeup, costumes, set design and being an overall stage tech. She also became very diverse backstage. She involved herself with the children’s theatre and performed at the local elementary schools.

What it meant to be Taryn Brody was to have a big personality, which only blossomed with the help of the department. She would be honored if she could help someone overcome fears or insecurities through the arts, specifically drama. This scholarship is sponsored by Vineyard Church and is for an individual who shows the most growth and ability to break from their shell to be the rockstar that they are meant to be, no matter what career path they choose.
