2027 Senior Scholarship

Taking the next step toward a future in music is an exciting milestone.
The Encore Music Education Foundation, Inc. offers scholarships to
graduating high school seniors and high school graduates studying an
instrument or voice who plan to pursue an undergraduate degree in music
performance, music education, sound recording and engineering, music
business administration, or musical theater at an accredited two- or
four-year college.

You do not need to attend Encore to apply, and there are no geographic
restrictions. Consideration includes musical involvement and
achievement, academic standing, extracurricular activities, and
recommendations. Preference is given to graduating seniors entering
their first year of college and applicants who have not previously
received a scholarship award.

Apply online by March 31, 2027. Your application must include a personal
essay, a current transcript, and a recommendation addressing your
musical achievement, character, and commitment. You may also upload an
optional MP3 audio recording or video showcasing your talent. A Google
account is required to upload your materials; nothing needs to be
mailed.

Recipients will be notified in May. Scholarship funds are paid directly
to the college after proof of full-time enrollment and a paid tuition
bill for the first semester of the 2027–2028 academic year are provided.
Awards are for one year, and students may apply again in subsequent
years.
