Latest and greatest – thank you for sharing so generously. Please keep those PMs coming. Analytics show us that many people are looking at this list, so please contribute if you can.
Asterisk indicates new information. Note that these are music scholarships only and do not include other academic awards or loans of any kind. All are renewable for four years (two if MM) so the total amount is 4x what you see here. Also: get a load of that Northwestern award! Biggest I’ve seen, from a school that is notoriously cheesy with UG scholarships. Party on, class of 2024!
