We want to see you march!

C.H. Beebe Scholarship Program

With the assistance of generous alumni and other financial supporters, the Madison Scouts actively maintain a pool of $50,000 in scholarships for which members can apply.

DCI Scholarships

Through Drum Corps International, tens of thousands of dollars in scholarships are awarded to Open Class and World Class members.
