Limited stipends are available also to teaching assistants.
The awarding of School of Music scholarships and stipends is highly selective and is usually based on performance ability as well as academic merit. To apply for a School of Music scholarship or stipend, submit the Music Scholarship Request Form, available from the Music Office at the above address. Candidates who submit that form and gain admission to the School of Music by February 15 for the following fall semester receive first consideration. All applicants for music scholarships are encouraged to audition to strengthen their scholarship application, even when an audition is not required for admission. D.M.A. performance or pedagogy applicants who have not completed the entrance recital must audition to be considered for a music scholarship and, except for those applying from abroad, are expected to audition in person.
