Scholarships

The 2026 Rock & Roll Institute Scholarship Program is currently open for accepting applications until March 1, 2026.

In 2015, Dr. Renee Andino and Dr. Rob Andino from HealthFirst Wellness in Rockford, IL sponsored our very first camp scholarship. Thanks to their generosity and passion for our camp, we now have an ever-growing scholarship program that continually strives to better serve the youngest musicians in our community. We extend our gratitude to our community partners for generously contributing scholarship funds!

Application Rules & Requirements

Standard scholarships cover the cost of attendance for one week of camp. Attendance is mandatory for the entirety of the week.

We will know if your parents wrote answers for you or if you used AI. Scholarship applications will only be considered if written and fulfilled by the applicant.
Due to an increased number of scholarship applications and limited funding, some applications will be denied or rewarded partial scholarships.

Apply now!

Please fill out the application below. Allow yourself time to complete all questions and answers in one sitting. We highly suggest that you draft and compose answers to all of the application questions in a separate document (Word, Txt, or an email to yourself) that you can keep as a copy for yourself. There are many technical instances in which your application process will fail upon submission due to variable browser and device settings that we can’t control if you leave, pause, and return to complete the application at a later time.

* Prevent yourself from the potential hassle of needing to start over by composing answers in a separate document first!*
