At Wilshire Quinn Capital, music runs through our veins. From the time we were kids, many of our most pivotal life moments can be traced back to certain songs and musical notes. And even though we grew up to be suit-wearing finance guys, we are still rock stars at heart. That’s why we created the Wilshire Quinn Musical Arts Scholarship – a $10,000 award that will be given to one qualified applicant of our choosing.

We’re looking for candidates who demonstrate passion, talent, work ethic and financial hardship. Whether you play the flute, pick an electric guitar or sing Puccini, we want to celebrate and support you as you pursue your dreams. You are the future soundtrack of America. Rock on!

2023 Award

One scholarship of $10,000 will be awarded. Funds will be used for tuition only and paid directly to the educational institution.

Applicants must also submit a short personal statement, no longer than 400 words, describing what music means to you and why you chose the accompanying song.

Applicants will be asked to send in a video link (YouTube or similar) of their performance. To get started, fill out the entry form below. Upload your song to Youtube and insert the link here. You can also upload your personal statement as a PDF or Word Document.

The Fine Print
