This is a scholarship opportunity of $1,500 for college students who are enrolled full-time. More criteria is available on the application form.

The candidates must be able to commit to five hours total per week, with flexibility to work more for special events. The first performance for Musket is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 29.
