The Robert Albritton Endowment Fund, established in August 2002 with the Ann Arbor Community Foundation, honors the 20-year career of Robert Albritton as Director of Bands at Pioneer High School from 1982 - 2002. Proceeds from the fund will be distributed each year as a single scholarship award until such time as the fund grows and proceeds from the fund increase.
The Robert Albritton Scholarship Award is a merit-based scholarship intended to enrich both the recipient and the Pioneer band program at large. The award is to be used for a recognized camp or band program outside of the Pioneer High School program (e.g. Interlochen Arts Camp, Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp, etc.)
The student’s record should clearly show that they:
- Regularly participates in band performances, social, and fundraising activities.
- Demonstrates a desire to improve as a musician and contribute to ensemble performance; and
- Will be continuing in the Pioneer High School band program for at least one more school year following the outside program experience.
The application form for the Robert Albritton Scholarship must be completed online by the student and their parent/guardian. Applications for the Robert Albritton Scholarship are due on or before May 3, 2024. The Robert Albritton Scholarship Award will be presented each May at the Pioneer Band Banquet.
