Music majors have a number of scholarship opportunities available each year. Traditionally these awards range from $300 - $3,000 and are awarded annually based on audition. All students receiving a music scholarship must maintain a 2.5 GPA and be a music major in order to retain their award. Auditioning students are automatically considered for all awards.
All incoming students will be considered for a scholarship. If you are presently receiving a music scholarship award, you will need to reapply and audition for your award each year. To reapply, complete a Returning Student Scholarship Application and return it to the Music Departmental Office before the end of classes in the fall semester. Your fall applied jury will be your scholarship audition for the next academic year.
