Scholarship Sponsored by United States Marine Band

Value: $2,500
Awards Available: 3
Deadline : Nov 15, 2025

The United States Marine Band, also known as The President's Own, in partnership with the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation, is excited to declare the commencement of its Concerto Competition for High School Musicians. The deadline for all application submissions is November 15, 2025. The champion of the competition will have the honor of performing as a guest soloist with the Marine Band during the 2026 concert season and will be awarded a $2,500 scholarship from the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation. Runners-up will be granted scholarships of $1,000 and $500 for second and third place respectively.

Who Can Apply?

The competition is accessible to high school students (grades 9-12) who are enrolled for the 2025-2026 academic year. Eligible applicants include string, piano, and harp players. (The 2026 competition will be open to woodwind, brass, and percussion players.) Please note that after the 2026 competition applications close, the next chance for string, piano, and harp players to participate will be in the 2028 competition (applications due in November 2027). Previous winners of the competition and immediate family members of current or former U.S. Marine Band members are not eligible to apply. All applicants must be U.S. citizens or hold permanent U.S. residency.

1. Application Process

The application process consists of two parts:

Performance Recording:

  • Applicants are required to choose ONE piece from the provided repertoire list and submit an unedited recording of their performance, which can be accompanied by a piano, band, or orchestra.
  • The recording should be submitted as a YouTube video. The application cannot be completed without a link to this video.
  • Applicants have the option to set their YouTube video as "unlisted," which means it can only be viewed by individuals who have the direct link. If preferred, the applicant can choose to remain unseen in the video.
