SCHOLARSHIPS
Submit a Stampede Scholarship Application
Thanks to the generosity of the CMU Associated Student Government, and the hard work of former marching members,the Maverick Stampede has a generous scholarship program for students based on audition and service. A limited number of scholarships are available for students who meet the audition criteria and/or provide service in some way to the CMU Bands. A student does not have to audition to be a member of the Maverick Stampede. However, to receive a scholarship, a student must audition using this form.
CMU Bands Scholarship Pathways:
Most students who recieve a scholarship do so through one of these pathways.
- Acceptance into the Rowdy Brass Band: auditions for RBB are held each spring semester and provide an opportunity for students to earn a the highest scholarship award amount among CMU Band offerings.
- Acceptance into the CMU Bands Leadership Team: applications for the Leadership Team occur each spring for students who have marched for at least year with the Maverick Stampede.
- Stampede Scholarship: All new and returning members who wish to be considered for a Stampede Scholarship must audition using this form. Note: music majors need not audition for a Stampede Scholarship; their audition and acceptance into the music department supplants this requirement.
If you are confused or have questions regarding becoming a member of the Maverick Stampede, contact director, Andrew Bajorek - [email protected].
