The George N. Parks Scholarship Fund was established by the UMass Band Alumni Network in 2021 to permanently honor GNP with financial awards to exceptional bandos.

Beginning in 2022, a scholarship of $1,000 will be awarded to a member of the Minuteman Band who strives to be the very best for themselves and the UMMB.

Recipients will be recognized during Homecoming Weekend.
