Scholarship and Audition Information
PLEASE NOTE: There are separate forms for Music Scholarships and the University of Utah Financial Aid and Scholarship Office. The latter form is for University-awarded financial aid and scholarships only.
Currently Enrolled Students: Music Scholarships are awarded for one year only. Music Scholarships are renewable each semester for a total of four years (8 semesters) if you continue to meet standards outlined in the Scholarship Agreement. These standards include meeting appropriate academic standards; maintaining full-time student status; being enrolled in a major ensemble and private studio lessons; and maintain adequate performance levels. All Music Scholarships renewals are contingent upon available funding. Students wishing to apply for the first time or to reapply must meet the scholarship application deadline of January 21st, 2011 by completing a detailed Music Scholarship Application. Auditions for scholarship renewal are not typically necessary. If the Scholarship Committee does not believe they have enough information documenting the progress of an applicant, or for other special reasons, an audition for a continuing student may be required.
