The Clarence Maurice Logan, Jr. (CML) Music Scholarship was created in honor of a beloved son who loved the art of music. Music is responsible for the happiness and creative expression of many people of all ages and backgrounds.
With the high costs of musical instruments and instruction, many families rely on school music programs in order to introduce their children to the artistic world. Unfortunately, music often goes underfunded, leaving many schools with inadequate music programs or a total lack of them. As a result, many students never get the opportunity to explore their musical aspirations.
This scholarship aims to support students who are passionate about pursuing music and fighting to keep music in schools.
Any underrepresented minority high school student who will be a first-generation college student and plans to pursue a music career may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
To apply, tell us about your desire to pursue music and why keeping music in grade schools is so important.
Please describe, in detail, your desire and interest in pursuing a career in music. In addition, please outline the importance of keeping music in grade schools.
The application deadline is Aug 9, 2024. Winners will be announced on Sep 9, 2024.

The winner will be publicly announced on Sep 9, 2024. Prior to the announcement date, we may contact finalists with additional questions about their application. We will work with donors to review all applications according to the scholarship criteria. Winners will be chosen based on the merit of their application.
Award checks will be sent to the financial aid office of the winner's academic institution or future academic institution in their name to be applied to their tuition, and in the name of their institution (depending on the school's requirements). If the award is for a qualified educational non-tuition expense, we will work with the winner directly to distribute the award and make sure it goes towards qualified expenses.
Before we award the scholarship, the winner will be required to confirm their academic enrollment status. Depending on the circumstances, verification of Student ID and/or their most recent transcript will be required.
