Tupelo Elvis Presley Fan Club Scholarship

Diane Whitt, club member (and popular local teacher) dreamed of a music scholarship for a deserving senior. Our club embraced the idea and the rest is music history! Our scholarship is open to all graduating Mississippi high school seniors. Each spring, a panel of judges reviews submissions and narrows it down to ten finalists who perform live for our club. A vote is taken and the winner is announced on-stage.

The rules are simple:

1.  You must be a resident of Mississippi and enrolled as a senior at a Mississippi high school and be graduating in 2023.

2.  You must sing, dance, or play a musical instrument and submit a performance video for review by the selection committee by uploading to YouTube (do not mail in DVDs).  There is a line below on this form to submit a link to your video.
   

   If chosen as a semi-finalist you will be invited to perform live at the Finale to be held in Tupelo, MS in March or April 2023.
   

   You MUST be able to perform at the Live Finale or otherwise forfeit.  (Travel expenses WILL NOT be provided.)

3.  You must be going to attend college, but it is not required that you be enrolled in a musical program.  Any Community College or 4-Year University of your choice is acceptable.

4.  You must enter into a contract detailing the Scholarship winnings with the Tupelo Elvis Fan Club.
