Scholarships

Scholarships are offered to incoming students in piano, voice, organ, strings, brass, woodwind, guitar and percussion.

Before being offered a scholarship by the CSOM, the student must have been accepted to the university and completed their FAFSA.

In order to receive a scholarship, a student must be a full-time music major or have auditioned for an ensemble scholarship.

The student must maintain at least a 2.75 GPR and receive no grade below a “B” in his/her applied major area.

The student agrees to perform as assigned by the music faculty.

The length of music scholarships is 4 years, except for Music Education, which is for 4 ½ years.

Pianists may be assigned to accompany.

Scholarship Retention Policy
1. Any music student placed on scholarship probation has one semester to improve their GPA to 2.75 and their applied lesson grade to a “B”. If grades do not meet required expectations,
the student forfeits the music scholarship.
2. If one semester is not sufficient to fully improve the GPA to the required level, but the student can show marked improvement in their grades over the probation semester, the student
may appeal to the music faculty for one additional semester.
3. No student may be on probation for a period of longer than two semesters.
