Full ride scholarship for an international violist

<p>Just came across this today, and thought I'd post it to the forum. Might prove useful to someone for next year.</p>

<p>having trouble getting the page to load- is it working for everyone else? RR is becoming really difficult in this area…</p>

<p>I tried the link this morning, and it opened. If anyone has issues, I’ll cut and paste the text.</p>

<p>The link worked for me. I went to the WIU website and looked at the details. WIU offers a full scholarship to four international string players - 2 violin, 1 viola, 1 cello, who then form the WIU Presidential String Quartet. My guess is that, as individuals graduate, their spot becomes open. At the moment, it is a viola opening, but in the future that will rotate to the other strings.</p>

<p>What a great opportunity for someone. Small world that it is…I got my masters degree at WIU (not in music). I think it’s terrific that this school has created this orchestral opportunity.</p>

<p>Now it works- tempermental Road Runner…!</p>
