The School of Music offers talent-based scholarships to music students primarily in the form of tuition waivers. These are available in most performance areas. When you audition for the School of Music faculty, you are also auditioning for any and all music scholarships available in your area. Auditions are required and specific restrictions apply for some scholarships. We welcome inquiries and auditions from all interested students.
Amounts vary depending on performance area and residence status.
They are renewable for 4 - 5 years of undergraduate study. Music tuition waivers are awarded on the basis of talent, need, funding available, area needs, or a combination of these factors. All students are urged to apply for general university financial aid since significant assistance is available based on academic achievement, financial need, outstanding leadership abilities, and other factors. Detailed information on Financial Aid may be found at the OU Financial Aid site. Auditions are required for admission to all School of Music degree programs.
