Janet M. Blackburn Scholarship

The Janet M. Blackburn Scholarship, provided by the NoCo Foundation, supports undergraduate students who combine academic pursuits with string instrument performance. To qualify, applicants must attend or have attended a Colorado high school and be enrolled at an accredited four-year college or university within the state of Colorado. Eligible students must major in the natural sciences or liberal arts, which includes music and fine arts. Additionally, recipients must take individual lessons in violin, viola, cello, or bass, and actively perform in at least one professional or student ensemble.

The program offers a verified award amount of $10,000. These funds are paid directly to the recipient's institution to help cover the cost of attendance for the upcoming academic year. Disbursement is subject to the outside scholarship policies of the student's specific college or university. This award does not require a FAFSA or state financial aid application for eligibility.
