Solo Competition
High School Division (Competitor must be 18 or younger)
- 1st prize - Cash prize plus $10,000 merit scholarship to attend the Interlochen Arts Academy
- 2nd prize - Cash prize plus $7,500 merit scholarship to attend the Interlochen Arts Academy
- Students currently in grades 8-11, including home-schooled students, are eligible to win this award. Students outside this age range may still win the competition, but are not eligible to receive the scholarship award. This merit scholarship offer is valid only for enrollment in Fall 2025 at the Interlochen Arts Academy (IAA) and is non-transferable and non-deferrable.
- Students currently enrolled at IAA are eligible to participate in and win the competition, but doing so will not affect their scholarship/financial-aid package.
- Winners will still need to complete an application to be accepted into IAA; more information can be found here: https://www.interlochen.org/academy-boarding-school/admission/how-to-apply. Should the horn studio be full at the time of acceptance, qualified students will be placed on a wait-list.
- Upon completion of the IAA application, students will be considered for financial aid in addition to their merit scholarship. Any financial aid award is in addition to the merit scholarship amount, and is based on parental income and financial need.
- This prize is a minimum award. Based on audition videos, exceptional applicants may be offered additional scholarship funding. However, merit scholarships are not “stackable.” For example, if you have already applied for Fall 2025 and received a merit scholarship, the higher of the two scholarships is the final merit scholarship offer.
- Please contact Dr. Lauren Hunt at [email protected] with any questions.
