FLOC Scholarship
The FLOC scholarship was created for high school seniors who are graduating in the spring of 2023, going on to higher education, and share our love for colorguard. Applications open around March and applicants will be notified mid April. No affiliation with JMU is required to be considered for this scholarship. Applicants are not required to commit to a post-high school colorguard program to be considered. Scholarship winners will be anonymously voted on the active members of FLOC.
Information and requirements regarding the 2026 scholarship are located at the bottom of this page.
