Music Scholarships

Updated September, 2007

Overview

Music scholarships are available to all university students, regardless of major. All music scholarships are awarded on the basis of a competitive audition. All music scholarships are awarded independently of other university financial aid. The amount of a music scholarship is determined by the department's music scholarship committee which uses the recommendation of the audition screening panel as a basis for their award. Students who declare music as their major will automatically be awarded the university's $500 Award of Excellence (AOE) scholarship for their freshman year only.

Procedure

1) Complete the Application for Admission to the university. You will need to send a non-refundable $30 FHSU application fee after completing your on-line application.

2) Complete the university's on-line Scholarship Application. Please note that to be considered for scholarships outside of the Department of Music, this form must be received by Scholarship Services before December 14, 2007.

3) Register to Audition. Complete the Department of Music online Audition Application. The on campus audition dates for the 2007-2008 academic year are January 19, 2008, and March 8, 2008.. Students who are unable to audition on these dates should contact the Department of Music at 785-628-4533.

4) Print the Department of Music recommendation form twice and obtain two (2) different letters of recommendation. Make sure that the signer of each recommendation places his/her letter in an envelope and seals it. In most cases these letters will be from your high school music teacher(s), private music teacher, minister, or employer.

5) Mail the two (2) letters of recommendation to:

Music Scholarship Committee
Department of Music
600 Park Street
Hays, KS 67601-4099

All materials must be received one week prior to the audition date.

Applications received after the audition date will be considered only if funds are available.

Scholarship contracts are not binding until May 1 of the year of graduation from high school.
