Hi there!
I’ve done guard (the flag spinning kind) for 4 seasons so far, and I’ll have done 7 seasons by the time I graduate. I’m also currently a captain, and I’ll probably be in a leadership position for 3 seasons total. But we don’t compete in a circuit that gives out scholarships, so I was wondering if you guys knew of any? I’ve done a bunch of researching, but the only one I can find is for WGI… and I don’t compete in WGI.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Are you looking for a school that gives substantial awards for color guard? I don’t think there are any. I’ve heard of small awards, but typically schools are providing uniforms and transportation to games, etc, and maybe a small award, but that’s often it.
There are schools that give $500-$2000 scholarships/awards for marching band and color guard participation. Often, they are stackable with other scholarships that the school offers. Check the music department pages of the schools where you are applying , you should find information there.
Also, check with your band director. He/She may have information about the scholarships available for color guard at various colleges as well as at a local or regional level.
