Scholarship Programs for Color Guard Members?

I've been involved in color guard throughout high school, and I'm interested in any scholarships out there for students with similar experience. Do colleges offer scholarships for color guard, or are there external programs to check out?

Many universities and colleges do offer scholarships for color guard as part of their marching band or winter guard programs. It varies from school to school, and while not all colleges offer specific scholarships for color guard members, some do recognize the talent, dedication, and leadership skills developed in this activity and provide assistance. You could also potentially receive a leadership or talent scholarship based on your involvement in guard.

There are also external scholarships that specifically cater to students involved in color guard, such as the Winter Guard International Scholarship program, which recognizes students who have performed in a Winter Guard International division.

Furthermore, organizations like the Music for All Foundation and the John Philip Sousa Foundation offer scholarships for band members, including color guard members. You might also want to check out your state and regional competitions for scholarship opportunities, as some local flute associations and music foundations often provide scholarship opportunities for high school seniors involved in a marching band.

Remember to always verify the details and deadlines for each scholarship to ensure that the information is current and applicable to your situation. And don't forget to tailor your applications to highlight your specific achievements and experiences in color guard - give specific examples of leadership roles, performances, and ways you've grown and learned from this extracurricular. Best of luck in your search!
