<p>I know some schools give money to students who show that they are good at music by being in band/orchestra/choirs/etc. Which colleges do this?</p>
<p>Some do…but some give more if you major in music. Sometimes just being in the band only gets you a small amount…usually not enough to compensate for OOS tuition.</p>
<p>What kind of schools are you interested in?</p>
<p>What is your home state?</p>
<p>My DD got $750 a year for being in her college orchestra. She also had private instrument lessons at no cost. She was THRILLED to get these things. </p>
<p>No…it didn’t offset her cost, …but you know…it was something to celebrate anyway!! The OP was asking about music scholarships…not offsetting OOS tuition…at least not on this thread.</p>
<p>The schools I am interested in are the top top colleges like stanford and upenn. I’m living in Florida.</p>
<p>Stanford and UPenn do NOT give merit scholarships for ANY reason. The give need based aid only.</p>
