<p>I am not sure if there is a thread out here regarding Musical Scholarships, but I thought it would be a great idea to list the Musical Scholarships you and/or your child was offered. I know for most schools they don't announce this until Mid- March/Early April, and I am really anxious and prayerful that I am offered a music scholarship.</p>
<p>So my question, can you please post if you or your child received a music scholarship for this coming fall?</p>
<p>My S was offered a Chancellor's Talent Award from UMass Amherst Jazz Studies dept. That was cool!</p>
<p>We too are hopeful that other schools will have money to offer, as we have two other kids in college and grad school!</p>
<p>DableST_1,</p>
<p>If you weren't aware of it, here's a list from last spring. <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/336764-master-list-scholarships-merit-aid.html?highlight=master+list%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/336764-master-list-scholarships-merit-aid.html?highlight=master+list</a></p>
<p>I kick myself for not remembering this one earlier, and apologize to those who might have benefited, but the deadline is April 1. Remember it and bookmark it for next year, as it is for hs seniors or matriculated music ed or string (violin, viola, cello or bass) performance majors.</p>
<p>It's one of the few I know of that is not performance competition based or institutionally administered. Personally, I know two past winners.</p>
<p>I got a whopping 2,000 from loyola new orleans, and 18k total from otterbein. miami gave me nothing. Such a change from last year where I got no money whatsoever!</p>
<p>Hahah oops sorry 9,000 from otterbein. I don't know where 18 came from.</p>
<p>Shenandoah: $8,000 music + $16,000 Presidential (both renewable 4 years)</p>
<p>Ithaca: $5,000 + $11,000 (4 years)</p>
<p>UDenver $13,000 music, Willamette $5,000 academic + $4,000 music, UNTexas, $1,000 + in-state tuition = $11,000 music award</p>
<p>Centenary - Full Ride: Tuition/Room-Board/Books/Stipend.</p>
<p>aaviolinist--congratulations!</p>
<p>My dtr was offered 9000/yr for 4yrs at Hartt and 17000/yr 4yrs at Manhattanville.</p>
<p>D was offered $15k a year for Presidential Arts Scholarship at GW (vocal performance)</p>
<p>Also offered an extra $2k a year from American from their music department on top of a $20K a year merit scholarship</p>
<p>Muhlenberg also offered merit money-- awards including Dana scholars, Presidential, art and music/theatre totalled $19K/year</p>
<p>My son was offered the same Presidential Arts Scholarship at GW ($15k/yr), $16K merit from Oberlin, $6K merit from IU Jacobs and $5500 merit from U. Michigan all for violin performance. To think that he was told in September that he wouldn't even get into the top schools!!</p>
<p>Change Ithaca for Operahorn's D to $10,000+11,000/year. (Added $5,000/year)</p>
<p>Per year: Oberlin $12,000 merit, NEC $12,000 merit, Manhattan School $15,000 merit, Bennington $15,000 merit, Bennington and Harvard very generous financial aid. Conservatory packages included subsidized loans as well as merit aid.</p>
<p>Even with merit aid, the conservatories have proven too expensive for us, for 4 years. </p>
<p>If a college music program is insufficient (for composition), our daughter will transfer to a conservatory later. She really pictured herself at a conservatory, and worked hard to prepare portfolios and do all the auditioning, interviewing, and test-taking required in the conservatory application processes. But she is fine for now, and does not have regrets at all.</p>
<p>Hope this helps someone out there who is considering options for the future.</p>
<p>Boco: $15,000</p>
<p>Nec: $8,000</p>
<p>compmom: We are going through the same situation this year with our son, I am wondering where your daughter ended up and if she is happy with her decision. Thanks.</p>
