📢 Introducing the 2027 WKYPF High School Senior Scholarship.
The West Kentucky Percussion Festival is proud to announce the WKYPF High School Senior Scholarship. This prize will be awarded to a graduating senior pursuing a music degree in college with an emphasis in percussion.
Rather than a traditional cash award, this prize package is intentionally designed to outfit the student with many of the physical tools they will need to succeed from their very first day of college. The bundle will include sticks, mallets, stick bags, gift cards, and more.
⚖️ Selection Process: The scholarship winner will be chosen through a formal application process evaluated by a panel of 11 or more music educators.
Details regarding eligibility requirements, deadlines, and the application process will be released shortly. Keep an eye on our page for updates!
