Students majoring in music can be awarded up to $10,000 for their two-year commitment to our music programs - that's enough to cover the cost of tuition!

Get paid to play! Music scholarships are open to both music majors and non-majors.  Awards are contingent upon participation in music ensembles, full-time enrollment, and maintenence of at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA.   

All students need to apply to the college and fill out forms with the Financial Aid & Scholarships Office alongside their scholarship audition.

Also, please complete the audition form and watch for a follow-up email with important scheduling details and additional information.
