Music scholarships are available. Students in marching band, symphonic band,and pep band receive activity grants regardless of major. Scholarships in the Music Department are of two types: competitive music scholarships for music majors that require an audition (called Music Scholarships), and non-competitive participation awards for members of the bands (called Band Scholarships). The music scholarship has specific criteria that must be met to receive the award and ongoing oversight to maintain the award. Band scholarships are smaller and are awarded to all students who participate in the bands to help offset the costs and time obligations of membership in the bands.
Scholarship coordinator and phone: Dr. Ron Hough at (940) 397-4267.
