Conerto High School Musicians Scholarship
Scholarship Sponsored by United States Marine Band
I am delighted to inform you that the esteemed President's Own United States Marine Band, in collaboration with the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation, has officially opened its Concerto Competition for High School Musicians. The deadline for submitting all application materials is November 15, 2025. The fortunate winner of this competition will have the honor of performing as a guest soloist with the Marine Band during the 2026 concert season. Additionally, they will receive a generous scholarship of $2,500 from the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation. The second and third-place winners will also be awarded scholarships of $1,000 and $500 respectively.
Eligibility Criteria:
This competition is open to high school students from grades 9-12 who are enrolled during the 2025-2026 academic year. Musicians who play the string, piano, or harp are eligible to apply. However, please note that woodwind, brass, and percussion players will be eligible for the 2026 competition.
Please be aware that after the applications close for the 2026 competition, the next opportunity for string, piano, and harp players to apply will be for the 2028 competition, with applications due in November 2027.
Previous competition winners and immediate family members of current or former U.S. Marine Band members are not eligible to participate. All applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent U.S. residents.
Application Process:
The application process consists of two components:
1. Performance Recording: Applicants are required to select ONE piece from the repertoire list and submit an unedited recording of their performance, which must be accompanied by piano, band, or orchestra. The recording should be submitted in the form of a YouTube video. Please note that the application form cannot be completed without a link to this video. Applicants have the option to set the video as "unlisted" on YouTube, meaning it can only be viewed by individuals who have the direct link. If preferred, the applicant can choose not to be visible in the video.
2. Online Application Form: Applicants must fill out and submit all required information on the online application form.
