A pianist is the first recipient of Kent State University's scholarship funded by Eagles rocker Joe Walsh.
The first recipient will be David Jaramillo, a pianist who traveled from Ecuador for the auditions, Kent State officials said today.
University officials said earlier this month that Walsh, a former KSU student, was funding the first performance-based scholarship in the university's College of the Arts.
Walsh's $50,000 grant underwrites an annual $10,000 scholarship for the next five years for one or more incoming freshmen, Kent officials said.
Agreement with Walsh in hand, the university asked its schools of music, theater and dance to select their most promising incoming freshmen. Nine auditioned and were interviewed by a university panel in March.
Walsh, who is touring with the Eagles, chose not to be part of the selection process.
John Crawford, associate dean of the College of the Arts, said in a news release, ''It was a really tremendous performance that [Jaramillo] gave,'' in his audition.
''He played some selections by Prokofiev, and it was so clear to everyone on the committee that he had talent and commitment to his art,'' Crawford said.
Walsh, who attended Kent State between 1966 and 1968, dropped out of the university to play full time with the James Gang in Cleveland.
That led to success in the Eagles, a successful career as a solo artist and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
