    About this scholarship

    The Richard & Dolla Squires Memorial Music Scholarship is a program administered by the Stanislaus Community Foundation. This scholarship is designed for graduating high school seniors who plan to pursue a college degree in music. While the program is open to any qualifying senior planning a music major, the selection committee gives preference to applicants who can demonstrate a strong background in music.

    To be considered for this award, students must complete the foundation's common online application. Because the program requires applicants to demonstrate financial need, students should expect to submit financial information, which is typically gathered through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid or a similar state financial aid application. The scholarship provides a one-time award of $1,000 to help cover educational expenses. For the most up-to-date information regarding application deadlines and current timelines, applicants should consult the official Stanislaus Community Foundation website.

    How we check listings

    Every listing links to the provider's official page. Before it goes live, its amount and dates must appear on that page, the link must work and it must pass our scam checks; anything that fails a check waits for an editor. We re-check links every week. Listings not re-verified within six months leave our search until they are.
