Westwood : Rhoads Scholarship Fund
A scholarship fund in memory of Randy Rhoads, a rock guitarist for the Ozzy Ozbourne band who died in a plane crash in 1982, has been established at the UCLA College of Fine Arts for the study of classical guitar, according to J. Bernard Kester, dean of the college.
The $50,000 gift for the scholarship came from a trust fund of Rhoads’ career earnings.
Rhoads was a classical music devotee and had planned to enter the guitar performance program at UCLA, said his mother, Delores Rhoads, a music teacher and owner of the Musonia School in North Hollywood.
