Requirements

  • All applicants will need their transcripts (official copy)
  • All applicants will need to share their GPA from high school or from the previous first year of college if they are already a graduate

How to Apply

There are officially two routes when it comes to applying for this scholarship. The student must fill out the online application form and ensure that everything is correct and filled out. Then the student will need to submit the application via online.

After this, the student will receive an invitation via email about auditioning for the music faculty in person (or through Zoom).

Primary Audition

  • An audition in the student’s primary performance area is required.
    Although no specific compositions are required for an audition, we have identified a list of repertoire suggestions intended to help instrumentalists and vocalists select appropriate audition material.

Placement Exams

  • All students who are candidates for the Bachelor of Music and the Bachelor of Arts in Music degree programs should be prepared to demonstrate keyboard and musicianship skills and their knowledge of basic music theory.

For Pianist: Must play one piece that adequately shows the current level of achievement. The student also must play scale and arpeggio patterns, both major and minor.

Musicianship Skills: The candidate for whom voice is not a principal performing area should be able to demonstrate vocal proficiency by singing a simple hymn, or patriotic or folk song. The applicant must be able to distinguish between basic pitch and rhythmic reading. As well as, identify intervals from major 3, minor 6th, and perfect 4th, plus more. While identifying chords from major, minor, diminished, and augmented.

Music Theory: This test subject will be able to cover music theory fundamentals that students generally encounter in the process of studying an instrument or voice. Although the test does not assume that the student has taken previous music theory classes, although it would be extremely helpful for this part of the audition.

 

Reward

The chosen applicants will win either a $4,000 to $12,000 annual award to an exceptional music major. At the $12,000 reward range, this means half of a student’s tuition would be paid for since this university has a $26,000 per year tuition rate.

 

Deadline

The application deadline is March 1, 2022. Most likely this is when the audition will take place as well.

 

Annual

This is an annual application that occurs each year.
