Orchestra Scholarships Available

 

There are two opportunities for SCSS Orchestra Students to earn a Scholarship for College.

 

The SCSS Performing Arts Department provides one $1,000 scholarship each year to a student in any of the Performing Arts. Students cannot apply for these scholarships… they are based solely on teacher recommendation, and are based on the student’s contributions to the overall Performing Arts program at SCSS. Participation in multiple programs is a plus. Financial need is not considered. These scholarships are presented at the Senior Awards Ceremony in June.
