Senior Scholarships

Senior Scholarship Application

The purpose of the Marriotts Ridge High School Music Foundation Scholarship is to recognize one Senior (or graduating student) from each discipline (choral, band, and orchestra) for their exemplary commitment to the Music Department. This is not a “talent” scholarship, but one that recognizes all levels of skill and awards those who have contributed to the success of the Music Department as a whole.

To be considered for this scholarship, applicants must:

1. Be a senior (or graduating student) student enrolled at Marriotts Ridge High School and in the Music Program during the current Academic School Year.

2. Achieved a cumulative GPA of 4.0 as of March 31st in their Music Classes.

3. Complete all the questions below and write an essay based on the prompt. (You may want to write this in Word and copy into the form below so you don't time-out on this screen and lose your work.)

4. Submit this form no later than the deadline.
