The recommendations are sent to the University Scholarship Committee for final approval. The award is based on audition before the music department faculty. The applicant must have completed 32 credits by the end of the semester that auditions are held. The applicant must have a QPA of no less than 2.5. 4. Since the recipient receives one-half of the cash award during each of the two following semesters, a minimum of 2.5 must be maintained throughout that academic year.
All eligible students can participate any number of times.
Graduate students are not eligible to audition. An application for the audition, signed by the major teacher, must be submitted one week prior to the audition which is held near the middle of second semester each year. Students should see their major teacher or the Scholarship Committee Chairperson for further information. In order for music faculty to qualify to vote, the faculty member must be in the auditorium for the entire audition. The number of awards will be determined yearly by the Music Department Scholarship Committee.
