MIB OAK CREEK BAND SCHOLARSHIP FUND, INC.
IN 2004 THIS GROUP WAS FORMED TO HELP OUR GRADUATING BAND STUDENTS THAT ARE CONTINUING THEIR EDUCATION . THIS WAS ACCOMPLISHED BY GRANTING MONETARY SCHOLARSHIPS.
IT WAS ALSO INTENDED TO SERVE AS A SOCIAL VENUE FOR ALL BAND PARENTS, PAST AND PRESENT, ALUMNI STUDENTS, AND ANYONE THAT SUPPORTS THE BAND. THE PURPOSE OF THE MIB SCHOLARSHIPS IS TO RECOGNIZE THE POSITIVE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN WHO PARTICIPATE IN THE OCHS BAND PROGRAM. ALTHOUGH THE MIB RECOGNIZE THAT THE GROWTH OF OUR CHILDREN AS MUSICIANS IS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN PARTICIPATION IN ANY BAND PROGRAM.
RECOGNITION OF THE STUDENTS ABILITY AND TALENTS AS A MUSICIAN IS NOT THE PRIMARY FOCUS OF THE MIB SCHOLARSHIPS. INSTEAD WE SEEK TO REWARD THE STUDENT WHO HAS SHOWN POSITIVE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THEIR HIGH SCHOOL CAREER BY VIRTUE OF PARTICIPATION IN THE OCHS BAND PROGRAM. SINCE 2004, WE HAVE AWARDED $39,000 IN SCHOLARSHIPS.
MONEY FOR THESE SCHOLARSHIPS ARE FROM FUNDRAISERS, [Bradley Center, Lion’s Club, etc.] AND DONATIONS. WE ARE A NON PROFIT, CHARITABLE, ORGANIZATION AND ALL DONATIONS ARE TAX DEDUCTABLE UNDER IRS CODE 501C3. WE WELCOME ALL PEOPLE TO ATTEND OUR MEETINGS AT THE OAK CREEK COMMUNITY CENTER ON THE THIRD MONDAY OF THE MONTH AT 6:30 PM
