The University of West Florida celebrated a $18,500 donation to the Dr. Grier Williams School of Music in support of the Larry Butler Memorial Music Scholarship Fund on January 30, 2025. The new funds are a result of fundraising during the Frank Brown International Songwriters Festival, which was held in November.

The Larry Butler Memorial Music Scholarship was created in 2015 by Peggy Butler in memory of her husband, a Grammy Award-winning songwriter and producer, and Pensacola native. The scholarship provides financial assistance to UWF music students as they complete their degree programs and provides them the opportunity to travel to work with world-class artists and attend competitions, conventions and performances.
