2026 Jeffrey Smith Memorial Scholarship Applications Open!

We are pleased to announce that applications are now open for the Jeffrey Smith Memorial Scholarships. This scholarship is designed to recognize and support dedicated student performers who have demonstrated outstanding commitment, leadership, and artistry in the marching arts community.

Two scholarships will be awarded this year; one to a percussion member and one to a guard member. Eligible applicants must be a current high school senior involved in the marching arts and a member of a MAC registered ensemble in good financial standing. The application along with a letter of recommendation (preferred from your director, instructor, or coach) are required to be considered for the award. Only one member of each ensemble are allowed to apply, so we encourage each performer with the intent of applying to discuss with their ensemble staff.

The application is found here and must be completed along with your letter of recommendation no later than March 15th. Awards will be given out at MAC Championship events. For more information, visit the Scholarships page here.
