Application Information
PAISOC aims to promote diversity through scholarship and programming. The Drum Corps Scholarship program seeks to recognize current and future student leaders of color in the marching arts and broader performing arts world.
We strongly suggest downloading a copy of the application to work on your answers in your own Word file, and then copy and paste into the application when you’re ready to submit.
