When the HOA Heartbeats closed official operations in 2016, others stepped in to continue this valuable opportunity under new names.

Starting in 2020, the Wade Dexter Memorial Harmony University Scholarship was underwritten by a gift from Wade's family:

2020 - Tom Hadley (Due to Covid, attendance was delayed until 2022.)
2021 - Tony O'Brien (Due to Covid, attendance was delayed until 2022. Then, due to illness, Ted Simon attended instead.)
2022 - Charlie Hill
2023 - Kerry Rawlins

In 2024, Dave Hokanson made a generous contribution that should keep the scholarship going for many years.
