Band Scholarships
If a student is interested in a band scholarship for pep band, a short audition is required. A limited number of scholarships in a three-tiered system are available each year. The audition for returning students will take place by the end of the spring semester for the following year. Potential new students (freshman/transfer) will audition either during their senior year of high school or within the first two weeks of classes at Florida Tech.
