Samuel H. Scripps Scholarships

Have you seen a BAM school-time performance or participated in a BAM Education program? Two-year, four-year, and graduate student scholarships are awarded each year to students who have participated in BAM Education programs and are now pursuing higher education in the fields of performance, presentation, or arts administration.
