Scholarships
Scholarships and grants in music are awarded each year by the School of Music. Awards are made on the basis of musical talent and/or scholastic achievement. New students are eligible for consideration for these stipends at the time of their audition for admission to the music curriculum. Currently enrolled students apply and audition for awards and renewal of awards during the spring semester.
The School of Music is fortunate to have a number of named scholarships entrusted to us by generous alumni, emeriti, and friends. Named scholarships are awarded based on student performance and faculty nomination; students cannot apply for these scholarships.
