The college also awards additional Honor String Scholarships . Auditions for the scholarships are held each year in March. Selection is based on auditions, academic standing, and letters of recommendation. Students who are awarded scholarships must fulfill certain conditions. Scholarships are renewable for four years, contingent upon satisfactory participation.
Lessons are free to first-year students and senior music majors.
Prospective students must first apply for admission to Augsburg College. All auditions are conducted on Augsburg's Scholarship Day, the same day that interviews are conducted for President's Scholarships, Community and Public Service Scholarships and Lutheran Leader Scholarships. This is done for the convenience of those applying for more than one scholarship. Under special circumstances we do allow students to submit an audio or video tape, but we strongly recommend auditioning in person. While you are welcome to audition in more than one area, you may receive only one Performing Arts Scholarship.
