Scholarships

The Lamar Band Booster Club (LBBC) oversees the awarding of several scholarships each year to graduating seniors. Below you will find a brief description of each scholarship offered and the criteria used to select the recipient.

The LBBC, selects a group of non-senior parent volunteers for the scholarship recommendation committee. The committee will then submit their recommendations to the directors for final selections.  ALL SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS SHOULD BE PLACED IN A LARGE ENVELOPE, ADDRESSED TO THE LBBC SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE, WITH THE NAME OF THE SCHOLARSHIP INCLUDED AND TURNED IN TO MR. LANG BY MAY 1, 2023.

Students may apply for as many scholarships as desired. Final approval for each scholarship is contingent upon the completion of high school requirements prior to September of the current year and acceptance to an accredited college or university as a full-time student beginning with the fall semester.

Scholarship funds will be given only after the treasurer of the LBBC receives proof of enrollment in the student’s selected school for the fall semester. If the student does not meet these requirements, all rights to the scholarship will be relinquished and the funds will remain in the scholarship fund.
