Music Department Scholarship

This is the main music scholarship and is awarded to choral, piano, percussion, woodwind, and brass performers. They are awarded based on the student’s initial audition to the music department (see application and audition information for more details). The amount varies according to the student’s talent level, major, instrument or voice part.

In addition to completing the Music Department Application and performing an audition, all students should have an application on file through the MyScholarships General Application portal. This allows the student, music department and university to connect you with scholarship opportunities.

Some available scholarships must be applied for, while others are automatically matched with your application. Often times, a student who earns a Music Department Scholarship, and is offered X number of dollars, is funded from several smaller scholarship sources. To receive these monies, a MyScholarship application must be on file.

For more information, visit the LU scholarship information page.

All Music Department Scholarships carry an agreement to:

• Participate in concert band or choral ensembles
• Maintain a 2.5 grade point average (GPA)
• Earn an “A” in ensembles and no less than a “B” in applied music courses (as applicable)

Students whose GPA falls below 2.5 will be placed on scholarship probation.
