Music Merit Awards: Class of 2024

Has anyone heard anything from University of Oregon?

Heard about a couple of successful appeals today: BoCo added $6,000 and NEC $2,000. I’m also starting to hear rumbles about final choices. Be sure to alert the fabulous @tableforsix so she can post them in the Acceptance thread. Also, if anyone can PM me information about Frost that would be very helpful. Surprised not to have them on the board.

*Asterisk indicates new information. Note that these are music scholarships only and do not include other academic awards or loans, work-study, etc. All are renewable for four years (two if MM) so the total amount is 4x (or 2x) what you see here. Rounded up to nearest thousand.

Keep the PMs coming!
