Tuition & Scholarship Opportunities
Merit-based Scholarships
The College of Music offers competitive merit-based scholarships to music applicants who demonstrate a high level of achievement and potential. All who successfully complete the admissions process are automatically considered for music scholarship. A separate application for scholarship is not required.
Applicants will be contacted as soon as scholarship becomes available. Music scholarships are not released on a predetermined date. The offer window is anytime between the admit date and May 1. Admission to the College of Music does not guarantee music scholarship. Although all our admitted students are eligible and deserving, we are not able to offer competitive scholarships to all. As a result, we encourage applicants to also explore other funding opportunities.
