Scholarships or Special Awards
Scholarships are available to Conservatory students and are awarded on
the basis of ability (demonstrated at the audition) and academic standing.
Scholarships are awarded for one year but can be renewed annually, provided
students maintain the appropriate grade level, continue satisfactory
performance in the major performance area, and participate in major ensembles
as prescribed.
Applicants for Conservatory scholarships must complete all regular
admissions procedures in order to be considered. Conservatory scholarship
applications are included with the applicant's packet.
In accordance with the code of ethics of the National Association of Schools of
Music, the acceptance of financial aid by a candidate is considered a
declaration of intent to attend the institution, and each candidate will be so
informed. The code further declares that such a student may not consider any
other offer from an institutional member of the NASM except with the written
consent of the music executive of the first institution. Similarly, a transfer
applicant cannot be considered for financial aid without the written
recommendation of the head of the music department from which the transfer is
being made.
