20 yr-old Cdn. Wants to study Composition in the US

<p>The University of Missouri - Columbia offers two full tuition scholarships each year for composition majors. An audition is required on an instrument, but it sounds like you have that covered. Otherwise the procedure is basically the same as other composition programs. Submit a portfolio of at least three pieces and write an essay. If you are a finalist for the scholarship you must interview in person in February at the same as you do the instrumental audition. The composition faculty are from Eastman and it is a well funded program. Go to the Missouri SOM website and look under New Music Initiative. You also have to accepted by the University.</p>
