Charles Klaiber

Thank you so much for awarding me a VAW/VRC scholarship.  It is an honor and a privilege to represent naval aviation and the VAW/VRC community.  It means so much to me to honor my father after twenty-two years of service as a naval flight officer.  This scholarship will afford me the opportunity to pursue my dream as a composer that the Michael W. Smith School of Commercial Music at Liberty University.  This scholarship will have a profound impact on my educational journey through helping fund the high-end experience that Liberty has to offer for musicians.  In my current music career, I am making the most of what I have with limited resources.  The funds from this scholarship will place me in an environment where there is an abundance of resources and materials to aid me in my educational music journey.  Additionally, the relationships I will form with professors and other students will be not only invaluable to my future career in music, but influential to my mental and spiritual formation, thus fulfilling my call to become a champion for Christ.  God is good. Thank you again for this incredible honor!
