Music Scholarships

About

We offer music scholarships in varied amounts to a select number of highly talented and promising students each year. These scholarships are available through a competitive process that includes an interview and an audition with the music faculty of PBA. Students who accept these grants-in-aid must normally declare a major in music during the period of the grant and maintain a 2.75 grade point average in all music courses attempted at PBA. Music grade point averages below 2.75 will result in a reduction in music scholarships.

Scholarship recipients will be required to participate in at least two appropriate ensembles each semester. In addition, applied keyboard students often will be given accompaniment duties. More specific guidelines for maintaining scholarships are available from the Dean’s Office.

Deadlines

Students who audition after March 31 may not be eligible for music scholarships. Music scholarship money not previously awarded is assigned to other students on April 1 of each year. In order to be eligible for music scholarship, you must have both been accepted by PBA as a student and accepted to the Department of Music as a music major (through the audition process) prior to April 1.
