The Rose Family has established The ASCAP Foundation David Rose Scholarship to honor television and film-scoring great David Rose. Over the course of a long career, British-born David Rose made an indelible mark on film and television music, as well as easy listening instrumental music. His best-known works include the instrumental standards, "Holiday for Strings" and "The Stripper," the score for the science fiction classic Forbidden Planet, music for Bonanza, Little House on the Prairie, and decades of work with radio and television star Red Skelton. The scholarship will be awarded annually to a qualified college-level student working toward a television career in scoring for film and/or television who is participating in ASCAP's Film & Television Scoring Workshop.
