2023 RCSMA
Scholarship Festival
Tamarac HS
May 10, 2023
Hello
Each year, the Rensselaer County School Music Association awards nearly $3,000 in scholarships to our student musicians. The objectives of this festival are:
-
to develop music excellence as a solo performer
-
to encourage the performance of solo literature
-
to foster the continued study of music
-
and to recognize outstanding performing musicians of Rensselaer County
We award a first place scholarship of $300 and a second place scholarship of $150 to each of our divisions (Grades 6-8; Grades 9-10; Grades 11-12). Additionally, we award a first place scholarship of $1,000 and a second place scholarship of $500 to graduating seniors who are continuing their education as a music major in college.

Solo applications must be submitted online by March 15th by the RCSMA teacher. (Student forms are due on March 13th to give teachers time to meet this deadline). The $10 per student application fee must be postmarked by March 15th and sent to:
