2026 Scholarship Application

The Hampshire Music Parents organization annually awards scholarship money to 6 graduating seniors, in the amount of $500, who have demonstrated involvement in the music department at Hampshire High School. The purpose of the scholarship is to recognize the efforts and accomplishments of Hampshire High School students involved in the music program and to assist financially in the applicant’s continued education at an accredited college or university. Applicants need not be majoring  in music in order to qualify for this scholarship. 

The scholarship will be awarded on the basis of the applicant’s essay about their most memorable moment as an HHS music student and a short (no more than 5 minutes) video telling us how being involved in music has impacted you.  Each applicant will complete the provided application. Essays and videos will be scored by judges to be determined by the Hampshire Music Parents organization. The judges are typically teachers.  The interview will provide the applicants with an opportunity to discuss their qualifications and experiences with music, as well as to demonstrate their musical skills, if they choose to do so.  Think of this as a way to help younger students join or stay involved in music for the remainder of their high school career.
