About the Band Scholarships

The Westfield High School Band Booster Organization may award scholarships to deserving college-bound senior band students. The scholarship program is made possible through the generosity of the Westfield High School Band Booster Organization and the Annual Westfield High School 5K Run. (Scholarships funded in part or in whole by the Annual Westfield High School 5K Run will be recognized as such.)

It is the intent of the Westfield High School Band Booster Organization that one or more scholarship(s) are awarded at the end of each academic year. The number of and amount of said scholarship(s), if any, shall be determined by the Board of Directors each academic year.

It is the intent of the scholarship committee that the criteria for the band scholarship be weighted more heavily on the participation and commitment of the student in and to the WHS band program.  Non-music related activities and letters of recommendation are used as tie breakers when the scholarship applicants are of equal stature in the band criteria.  Neither grade point average nor financial need will be used as criteria for this application.

It is the intent of the scholarship committee that this application is open to all senior band students entering college, no matter what career path they may choose.
