Shuman Grant Application 2026

SHUMAN GRANT APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN

The Walled Lake Foundation For Excellence (FFE) has an endowment fund created by Bob Shuman to support scholarships for students participating in performing arts. Typical grant amounts received vary between $50-$300 based on financial need and number of applicants. Funds can be used to support participation in marching band, orchestra, choir and theater. Funds are NOT provided for private lessons; only for participation in WLCSD Performing Arts programs.

Any student who plans to participate in these performing arts activities in 2026 can apply. 

**If you received financial aid through WLMB in the 2025 season and you plan to apply for aid again for the 2026 season, you MUST also apply for aid from this Shuman Grant in order to continue to be considered for WLMB financial aid.**

The Google application form for the Shuman Grant must be completed by the student through their @students.wlcsd.org email address. 

Here is the link to the grant: Application Deadline for the Shuman Grant for the 2026 marching band season is March 20th.
