The John Rusnak Memorial Scholarship was established in 2018 in memory of Mr. Rusnak and his love and life's dedication to the Stoneman Douglas Eagle Regiment Program. John Rusnak was the founding band director at Stoneman Douglas High School. A $500 scholarship is awarded annually. The scholarship is awarded to a graduating student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School who exemplifies Mr. John Ruznak's love of music, a dedication to performance excellence and intent to continue an active participation in music and/or performing arts education beyond high school.
