=== Abe Olman Scholarship ===
[[Abe Olman]] was an American songwriter and music publisher. He was later director of ASCAP, and a founder of the Songwriters Hall of Fame which, in 1983, named the '''Abe Olman Publisher Award'''. In his honor, the '''Abe Olman Scholarship''' is given out each year by his family in the interest of encouraging and supporting the careers of young songwriters.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.songhall.org/scholarships/abe_olman_scholarship |title=Abe Olman Scholarship |website=Songwriters Hall of Fame |access-date=June 14, 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161025221730/http://www.songhall.org/scholarships/abe_olman_scholarship |archive-date=October 25, 2016}}</ref> The scholarship has been awarded since 1989 to individuals such as [[Matt Katz-Bohen]], [[John Legend]], and [[Bebe Rexha]].

===Holly Prize===
Created in 2010, the Holly Prize is a tribute to the legacy of [[Buddy Holly]], a SHOF inductee. The award recognizes and supports a new "all-in songwriter" — an exceptionally talented and inspired young musician/singer/songwriter whose work exhibits the qualities of Holly's music: true, great and original. The Holly Prize is administered and juried by the SongHall.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.songhall.org/scholarships/scholarship/the_holly_prize |title=The Holly Prize |website=Songwriters Hall of Fame |access-date=June 14, 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190410195922/https://www.songhall.org/scholarships/scholarship/the_holly_prize |archive-date=April 10, 2019}}</ref>
