Scholarship Information - Undergraduate & Transfer Students

• All applicants that select a music degree on their application to the University and complete the audition process by March 1 are eligible for music scholarships. There is not a separate application for music scholarships. Music scholarships are only eligible for music majors.
• Music scholarships are available to qualified students, but awards are competitive. All students that complete the audition process by March 1st are considered for scholarship.
• The School of Music bases scholarship awards on several factors: musical talent, academic achievement and priorities in instrumentation.
• The Scholarship Committee will consider your audition and application materials in making their recommendations. We suggest that you complete your application as early as possible.
• Scholarship awards are generally offered late March or early April. Offers continue until the May 1 deadline.
• Awards are renewable for a total of 8 semesters. Requirements for maintaining music scholarships are detailed in the music award contract a student receives when an offer is made. Provided students maintain the requirements, music scholarships are automatically renewed between the fall and spring semester.
