Music Scholarships are made to students, who may or may not intend a major or minor in music, in addition to any academic scholarships. Recipients are required to maintain satisfactory participation in their assigned ensemble each semester that they receive the award and must remain full-time students in good academic standing. Students who will be non-majors are not required to take private lessons but are guaranteed space in applied music studios if they wish to study privately. A major or minor in music requires private lessons.
