Music Scholarships
Music Scholarship
Amount varies, renewable
Awarded to students who demonstrate musical ability through an individual audition or during a Scholarship Weekend Event. Recipients are selected by the Music Department in collaboration with the Office of Financial Aid. Music Scholarships are available to music majors and minors. If you are interested in being considered for this scholarship, complete the following steps by March 31:
- Prepare a 15-minute audition consisting of at least three selections of a contrasting nature (historic periods; genres for vocalists such as oratorio, musical theatre, art song; etc.). Selections need not be memorized, but memorization is usually more impressive. A professional accompanist will be provided if needed; pre-recorded accompaniments may also be used.

Schedule an audition:
- E-mail Jody Cheon in admissions to schedule an audition during a Scholarship Weekend Event.
- E-mail Janine McCurdy in admissions to schedule an individual audition to be conducted by March 31.
