PASADENA, Ca. (August 1, 2025) – Applications are now open for the 2026 Pasadena Tournament of Roses® Rose Court presented by Citizens Business Bank.
We are excited to continue the treasured legacy of the Rose Court, a legacy that has inspired its members to connect with their communities, give back in meaningful ways, and grow in self-confidence from valuable experiences. These are experiences that will not only enrich their lives but also have a lasting impact on the communities they serve.
The geographic eligibility to serve on the Rose Court includes the Pasadena Community College District Map and seven additional zip codes in the area, including Eagle Rock, Highland Park, San Gabriel and Alhambra. To be selected for the Rose Court, participants must live and attend school full-time within those boundaries.
Applicants who have been displaced by the Eaton Fire and no longer reside within the geographic boundaries are welcome to apply, provided they attend a school that is within the eligible area. We recognize the strength it takes to move forward after such a loss, and we’re committed to ensuring eligible students have the opportunity to be part of the Rose Court experience.
Details and application available on the Tournament of Roses website.
The Pasadena Tournament of Roses remains a long-standing supporter of a diverse slate of educational initiatives and is proud to provide each Rose Court member with a $7,500 educational scholarship.
We're looking for applicants who bring diverse strengths and perspectives — whether they're natural public speakers, youth leaders, academic stars, or involved in their community and school. An applicant isn't required to have all these skills; the selected Rose Court members will provide a well-rounded group who serve as ambassadors of the Tournament of Roses, the Pasadena community and the greater Los Angeles area.
The Rose Court application, eligibility requirements and additional information can be found at https://tournamentofroses.com/about/rose-court/. Interested participants are encouraged to explore the website for answers to frequently asked questions and discover the benefits of joining the Rose Court.
The first round of Rose Court interviews will take place at Tournament House on Saturday, September 6, and Monday, September 8, 2025.
The 2026 Rose Court will ride down Colorado Blvd. in the 137th Rose Parade® presented by Honda and attend the College Football Playoff Quarterfinal at the 112th Rose Bowl Game presented by Prudential, both on Thursday, January 1, 2026.
