Hot Jazz Jubilee Music Scholarship
The Hot Jazz Jubilee celebrates local bands, youth musicians, and music as a whole.
Music is a rich form of art with many genres and constant room for growth and innovation. From composition to performing and beyond, musicians can enter the field in many different ways. Many passionate young musicians don’t receive much encouragement to further their musical endeavors, leading many to not consider studying music in college.
This scholarship aims to support students who are passionate about playing music and learning more about it.
Any high school senior or undergraduate student who is a California resident planning to study music in college (preferably with a particular interest in jazz) may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they’re involved in music, either in school or in an outside music program.
To apply, tell us how your musical interest started, why you want to study music, what your goals are in music, and if you see yourself playing jazz.
Please write a short essay, telling us a bit about yourself:
How and when did you become interested in playing music? Why do you want to continue to learn more about music? What are your future goals in music - performance, teaching? Do you see yourself playing jazz?
