<p>I’m guessing here, but I would think that the larger scholarships based on music merit would only go to those pursuing a BM degree and not a BA at Oberlin & Northwestern. I know the music merit scholarships at Bard are only for those students accepted to the conservatory for the 5-year double degree program, BM/BA, as they are conservatory scholarships. Emory may very well be a different story as I don’t know if they even offer a BM - and I do believe they have some music merit scholarships.</p>
