Performing Arts Scholarship

Each year the McLean Community Center hosts the Macdonald Performing Arts Scholarship Competition for high school students who live or go to school in Dranesville District #1A (McLean Community Center’s tax district). The deadline for entry into the 2026 competition is January 26. We want to be sure eligible students won’t miss out on the opportunity. 

There are four categories: Theatre, Dance, Vocal Music, and Instrumental Music. Three prizes are awarded in each category, from $400-1200. There is an application fee of $20 per entry, and students are allowed to enter as many categories as they like.  

The preliminary competition is the week of February 9th.
