Josh Chapman Memorial Scholarship
This scholarship seeks to honor the life, memory, and talent of Josh Chapman by supporting the next generation of musicians.
Josh’s greatest joy in life was playing his guitar. At a young age Josh began teaching himself how to read and play music after school. This dedication led him to play in multiple bands on the local scene and through this he was able to play opening for Hinder, Sevendust, Bret Michaels, and Zach Myers of Shinedown.
The idea behind the scholarship is that the memory of Josh and his love of music may live on for years through people with similar interests to him, despite him no longer being here on Earth.
Any high school senior or high school graduate who will pursue further education in a music-related field may apply for this scholarship if they have financial need and are in Connecticut. Students must be passionate about music in some way, whether they’re hoping to be a musician, work in the industry, or work with music in another way.
To apply, tell us about your passion for music, how you became interested in it, the effect it has had on your life, and/or your goals after finishing your studies.
Please tell us about your passion for music. Specific points of discussion can include, but are not limited to, when and why you became interested in music, the effect music has had on your life, and/or your goals or future plans once you complete your studies.
