In addition to campus-wide scholarship and financial aid programs such as the Freshman Academic Scholarship and Pell Grants, the Department of Music offers scholarships to deserving students who major in music. These awards are based on musical ability and are renewable for up to four years. Winning a music scholarship does not prevent a student from accepting financial aid from the University as well.
High school seniors, college transfer students and current University of Arkansas students who plan to pursue full time studies in the Department of Music leading to a degree in music are eligible to apply. Students not majoring in music may still be eligible for a Band Grant-in-Aid, a Schola Stipend, or an Orchestral Activities Scholarship.
Scholarships in various amounts are awarded by the department on the basis of talent, musicianship, academic record and recommendations from previous teachers. Some of the available scholarships are:
Applicants must have a completed Music Scholarship Application form (.pdf) on file in the Department of Music.
All candidates will perform for a Department of Music Auditioning Committee. Auditions include solo performance of on or more compositions. If a candidate lives a great distance from campus, the candidate may submit a tape recording.
Some of these forms can be filled out, printed, then submitted for the appropriate signatures. Please keep in mind that these forms can NOT be submitted via the internet or e-mail, they MUST be submitted in paper form with the appropriate signatures.
