<p>I am STILL waiting to hear from ESM and Ob...I want to go to either of those or NEC.</p>
<p>Anyways, how hard is it to get the dean's awards or whatever at Ob? I've gotten a lot of money elsewhere, but I have a feeling it's hard to get dean's awards... right? </p>
<p>Oh, and does ESM give good aid, generally speaking?</p>
<p>I don't know what it is like this year, but the year my daughter was accepted at Oberlin about a third of the incoming class got talent awards, mostly in amounts between $6,000 per year and $12,000 per year, but some higher. Don't know about Eastman.</p>
<p>We know someone who says she received $15K as a voice performance soprano from Oberlin this year.</p>
<p>DS got 15K/year x 4years at Eastman for voice performance.</p>
<p>Congratulations, mommybird.</p>
<p>KeyofH, thanks for the congratulations, but want you to know that the award was for a previous year. I am sorry that I didn't make that clear. Hope the info can still be helpful. Good luck to all. I remember how much it mean to our family to have the financial burden lightened and hard work recognized with these music scholarships.</p>
<p>Congratulations still sticks.</p>
<p>I think just about everyone gets some kind of merit award from Eastman.</p>
<p>Has anyone received notification of any music merit scholarships from IU Jacobs SOM yet?</p>
<p>That's what they said at the info session, but it still will feel like a very pleasant surprise when you get your financial aid notification!</p>
<p>My last post was about Eastman Merit awards not about Indiana.
Puka Dad - a good friend of ours is waiting to hear about Music merit aid from Indiana and hasn't heard anything. Already got academic merit aid a while back.
In 2007 DS got his merit notification by snail and it was dated March 22, so yours should be coming any minute. His was for voice if that makes a difference.</p>
<p>Thanks for the info. I knew your post was about Eastman but instead of starting another thread I thought I would ask here.</p>
<p>I called to Jacobs yesterday and was told that letters would be mailed out the end of this week or the beginning of next week.</p>
<p>At audition Eastman admissions said generally they offer $5, 10 or 15k as talent scholarships depending on need and audition performance. All get at least $5k if accepted.</p>
<p>Just a quick note on IU/Jacobs mailings. The postmark date was 4 days later than the date on my son's acceptance letter. The person I talked to at Jacobs admissions said that the mail is slow to get out of the University mail room once it leaves Jacobs.</p>
<p>My D received $10,000 merit scholarship from Shenandoah, $12,000 for University of the Arts and $15,000 from Boston Conservatory.</p>
<p>I got 12,000 from Lawrence. Still waiting from Oberlin and Eastman.</p>
