Apart from the crown, Riley was awarded a $10,000 scholarship along with a brand new car to relish for the coming year.

Currently studying in Brigham Young University, JessiKate is ready to graduate with a major in Violin performance and further aspires to be a studio recording artist. Alongside her university preparation, she organized a solo performance where she was seen playing ‘Praeludium and Allegro’ by Kreisler. Riley won $200 worth of scholarship, in addition to a preliminary talent award. Moreover, during the final evening she also received the Glenn Harmon Instrumental Music Award as well as a $500 scholarship.
