SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS

Carolinas' Carrousel is still accepting Confirmation to Participate forms for the 2010 Carrousel Scholarship Program that will select the 2010 Carrousel Queen and Court. Please submit your forms and entry fee of $235 as soon as possible. If you need a registration packet, contact the Carrousel Office.

In 1967, Carolinas’ Carrousel, Inc. instituted its Carrousel Queens Scholarship Program to recognize outstanding students in the region. Each area high school was invited to select a senior girl to represent the school and compete for the college scholarships offered by the Carolinas’ Carrousel.

That program continues today. Scholarships are awarded to the Carrousel Queen and four Carrousel Court members. The program also selects Miss Congeniality and awards a Community Service trophy, in addition to granting the Bill and Mary Ann York Community Service Award.

The 2009 Carrousel Representatives were selected by 60 area high schools. The 2009 Carrousel Scholarship Winners were announced on Wednesday evening, November 25, at the Charlotte Marriott City Center.

All of the Carrousel reps also participated in many exciting activities, culminating in the traditional ride in the Carolinas’ Thanksgiving Day Parade.

In 1998, the Marching Band Scholarship Program was added, offering scholarships to band members with matching awards to the student’s high school. The Robert L. Maddox Music Scholarship was established in 2000 to honor Dr. Maddox’s exemplary leadership in music education in Charlotte. 

The 2009 Marching Band Scholarship Award winners were announced at the Carrousel Awards ceremony on November 25. Click the 2009 Carrousel Scholarship Winners link above to see the names of these scholarship winners.
