Special Scholarship Information:
This year the Instrumental Music Boosters is pleased to announce that we will be able to offer two $1000 scholarships. The first will be the annual Instrumental Music Boosters Scholarship. The second will be the Deborah Barron Memorial Scholarship. We sincerely thank the family and friends of Deborah Barron, whose generous memorial contributions have made this scholarship possible. Both scholarships will be awarded from the applications that are received so only one application is necessary to be considered for each scholarship.

GUIDELINES

The North Carroll High School Instrumental Boosters Organization sponsors a $1000 Scholarship Competition each year. This scholarship is awarded to an eligible graduating senior to help further his/her education, and will be distributed to the accredited US College that the student enters for the fall semester of 2007.

The resume should include all instrumental music activities as well as any other extra curricular activities. All letters of recommendation should be returned to the student and turned in along with the student application and resume to the band director as one complete packet.
