Rockit Academy Scholarship Program

Scholarships

The Rockit Live Foundation, a 501(c)(3), believes that every young artist should have the opportunity to experience the impact that music can have, despite financial restrictions. In addition, we believe in acknowledging students who continuously go above and beyond to fulfill the mission of our organization by demonstrating a strong work ethic in pursuit of achieving full artistic potential, continuously participating in community service events, and consistently being a team player.

Rockit Live Foundation Scholarship Fund

Our fund is made possible through generous donations, grants, mission partners, fundraising events, SmugMug purchases, merchandise sales, and ticket sales. We fund numerous full and partial financial and merit scholarships each year, which may include private lessons, session fees, and/or musical instruments, allowing us to bring music education to serious minded musicians, regardless of their financial backgrounds.

In 2024, we awarded scholarships valued at $46,000 to 24 students!
