2025 GARY AMBROSIER SCHOLARSHIP

The Grand Junction Centennial Band has approximately 60 active members, drawn from various communities on Colorado’s Western Slope. For many of these members, the group provides an invaluable service by giving them the opportunity to continue their musical experience beyond the high school or college band level.

The Centennial band is excited to be presenting a music scholarship to three outstanding college-bound seniors this year. Interested students should submit the requirements listed below. The recipients will receive one of three scholarships ($1000, $500, or $250) for his or her college education.

You do not have to major in music, however, you must attend an in-state institution for at least one semester, maintain a B or 3.0 average, and be in a music class for the 1st semester. At the end of the semester, send your transcript to the address above, and a check will be mailed to you.

You will be asked to provide the following: information on your musical experience, any musical honors you have received, and your community involvement, as well as two letters of recommendation, one from your band/choir/orchestra director.

APPLICATIONS SUBMITTED AFTER March 1, 2025 WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.
