Being part of my school's colorguard has been a huge part of my high school experience. I'm curious if there are scholarships for students who have participated in colorguard or band.
Absolutely, there are scholarships available for students who are involved in colorguard or band. Here are a few examples:
1. DCI Scholarship Program: This is offered by Drum Corps International and is available to students who are participating in the marching arts, including colorguard.
2. John Philip Sousa Foundation's Dr. Robert Hawkins Memorial Scholarship: This scholarship is for students who have participated in a marching band during high school.
3. National Association for Music Education Scholarships: NAfME provides several scholarships for students intending to major in music education in college.
4. Winter Guard International Scholarships: These scholarships are available for students participating in WGI-affiliated groups, including colorguard.
Remember, while these options are specifically catered towards those in band/colorguard, there are also many more general performing arts scholarships out there. Moreover, participating in activities like colorguard could also strengthen your application for leadership or community involvement scholarships given your likely role in teamwork, choreography, performances, competitions etc. associated with the colorguard.
Do make sure to check the eligibility criteria and deadlines for each scholarship. Good luck!
