Why Scholarships Matter

Opportunity Changes Everything.

Earning a contract with a marching arts organization is a major achievement. Even then, the cost of a season, from member fees to travel and equipment, can stand between a talented student and the field.

MDC scholarships help close that gap, so the students who have earned their spot can take it. Donations to this campaign support the 2027 MDC Scholarship Program.

  • For students contracted to march
