Michael C. Overholser Memorial Scholarship

Michael Overholser's love of music started at an early age, beginning with learning piano and then playing baritone in his elementary school band. 

Michael then discovered his love for brass instruments, learning to play everything from the trumpet to the tuba before finding his calling with the slide trombone. In high school, Michael was a member of the marching, stage, and jazz bands and then expanded into R&B and rock as well. Michael played with bands after high school, living all over the country and taking his love of music everywhere.

This scholarship aims to honor the memory of Michael Overholser by supporting students who are passionate about music. 

Any high school senior in Maryland who is involved in music or plans to pursue music in college may apply, but low-income and/or minority students are preferred. 

To apply, tell us how music inspires you and how you want to use music to inspire others.
