Dear Arkansas Band Director:

            If you have a student who is going to college and planning to major in music in the fall, the Arkansas Small Band Association awards scholarships to Arkansas seniors from A, AA, and AAA high schools who are planning to major in instrumental music education in college each fall. The winners will be selected by a panel of ASBA members with the most emphasis being placed on the applicant’s musical achievements, leadership in their school band, and written essay.

             The link below will allow you to download an application for the scholarship. If you have more than one applicant, please feel free to print more copies of the form.

             Completed applications should be returned to the address on the application form and postmarked no later than March 27. Please remind applicants to include a copy of their high school transcript and a letter of recommendation from you along with the other required information. In order for students to be eligible, applicants must be planning to major in music education (not performance) this fall.

              Also encourage your students to fill out this application neatly and completely. The “brief composition” will receive much consideration.

               Thank you very much for helping us provide this opportunity to your students!!

Trey Reely

President, Arkansas Small Band Association
