Scholarships are given in vocal music, instrumental music and theatre. 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.
