Huskie Marching Band Scholarship for Returning Students

The Huskie Marching Band Scholarship for Returning Students is designed to provide financial support to returning members of the Northern Illinois University marching band program. This scholarship recognizes the commitment and contributions of students who participate in the Huskie Marching Band, Drumline, Color Guard, or Dance Team. The award amount varies and is intended to help offset educational costs for students who continue their involvement in the university's marching band program. Priority consideration is given to applications submitted by April 1, though the final deadline extends to July 31, 2026. Applicants must be or plan to become active members of one of the marching band ensembles, with auditions potentially required for certain positions.
