All-State Audition Scholarship Program

     The John & Dorothy Jarvis Music Education Foundation All State Audition scholarship was created to provide
opportunities for minority and underprivileged students who show desire, potential and commitment to
auditioning for All-State who otherwise would not participate in private lessons due to financial limitations. A
minimum of 6 total students will be selected from FBA Districts 13 and 14. Students selected through the
application process will receive free weekly 30-minute lessons starting the first week in June and will conclude
following All State Auditions. Lessons will be focused on All-State audition preparation.

     All Lessons will be taken at:

Music Man
179 N. Jog Rd.
West Palm Beach, FL 33413

Music Man Port St. Lucie
950 SW Bayshore Blvd.
Port St. Lucie, FL 34983

     Each school’s Band Director will be permitted to nominate one candidate from their school. The candidate
should be selected based on:

• The candidate’s potential to make the All-State Band.
• The candidate’s willingness to come to the Music Man studio located on Jog Road or Port St. Lucie for weekly lessons.
• The likelihood that the candidate would otherwise be unable to participate in private lessons due to financial limitations.
• Minority Status and Financial Need

     Once selected by the Band Director, the candidate should:
1. Fill out the application completely by hand using blue or black ink.
2. Complete in the provided space an essay directed to the prompt: “How individual private lessons will
benefit me?” The essay must be hand written in the applicant’s handwriting and must fit within the
provided form. Typed essays will not be considered.
