Lester P. Seaton Scholarship

The Lester P. Seaton scholarship has been endowed by Mr. Seaton’s family and friends, in memory of his love of bluegrass and country music. Lester Seaton grew up in Maryville, Tennessee, and played on Knoxville radio while still a boy. Although he never played professionally, he retained his love of music throughout his life. His collection of recordings, sheet music, and instruments was donated to ETSU in 1998.
