RMD Music Scholarship Grant

The RMD Music Scholarship, managed by the Northern Piedmont Community Foundation, offers a $12,000 renewable scholarship for graduating seniors from Fauquier or Rappahannock County public schools pursuing a music degree at an accredited institution. Eligible students must demonstrate leadership and motivation, and must audition in their senior year while providing proof of acceptance into a university music program. Renewal depends on maintaining a minimum GPA of 2.7.

Northern Piedmont Community Foundation
The Northern Piedmont Community Foundation (NPCF) began in December 2000 when nine concerned citizens from Virginia’s Piedmont region were searching for solutions to the charitable needs in Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, and Rappahannock counties. With modest beginnings, our funds have grown to over $39 million in support of local charities, scholarships and community need in our northern Piedmont region.
Scholarships
Northern Piedmont Community Foundation manages the scholarship application process for dozens of scholarships for students in Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, and Rappahannock counties (as well as a handful serving students from surrounding counties too).
An eligible student should be well rounded and display initiative, motivation and leadership. Recipients must audition for this scholarship in the spring of their senior year. Students must also present their acceptance into a University music program before auditioning. The renewable scholarship is for $12,000 for four years ($3,000 each year), provided the student is still in a music degree program.

Eligibility

This scholarship is for a graduating senior from a Fauquier or Rappahannock County public school who intends to seek a degree in music at an accredited four-year institution. Renewal is dependent on submitting annual transcripts to NPCF and maintaining a GPA of at least 2.7.
