Grand Rapids Community Foundation awards numerous scholarships to Kent County students bound for or in college, or those pursuing a technical career and the GRCF Guy D. and Mary Edith Halladay Music Scholarship is just one of them.
The award amount varies each year.
The eligibility requirements for the Guy D. and Mary Edith Halladay Music Scholarship are that students must be Kent County residents two-year minimum and a graduate or undergraduate student majoring in music at any college in the U.S.
Also, applicants must prove financial need and a minimum 3.0 GPA so as to be accepted as future recipients.
By completing a general application, which has never been so easy, you will automatically be considered for more than 70 scholarship funds.
Depending on the student’s backgrounds, GPA’s, areas of study and levels of education, the system will determine which scholarship you are eligible for and match your application with it.

Future applicants should submit a list of awards and volunteer/employment/extracurricular activities.
They need to provide their academic transcript from the most recent semester.

It is very important to include your financial information including family income, as this scholarship is a need-based one.
The application process consists of a few steps.
Once you gather all the necessary information and documentation, you should review the list of scholarships available through Grand Rapids Community Foundation and see which ones you may qualify for.
The next step is application submission and checking of your e-mail to see is a scholarship committee comprised of volunteers from all over Kent County would send you some information related to your application.
