College of Fine Arts School of Music Undergraduate Handbook

Scholarships

Undergraduate scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis at the entrance audition. Scholarship auditions for the following academic year should be completed by March 15, preferably on an “audition day.” Assistance for those auditioning after March 15 will be awarded on a “funds available” basis only. To ensure the best chance for full scholarship consideration audition on or before this date.  Scholarships for non-music majors are limited and do not carry the same stipends as those for music majors.  Additional sources of financial aid are available through the Financial Aid Office.
