Music Scholarships at Boise State University and the Department of Music

The Department of Music recognizes talented students by awarding music scholarships in both the instrumental and vocal performance areas. Scholarship auditions are generally held in December and early spring at the Morrison Center for the Performing Arts. Current BSU music students need to reapply each year for any music scholarships they may be receiving.

(Please note, "Scholarship Requirements" may differ somewhat from "Admission Requirements" in each area. It is the student's responsibility to understand any nuances between the two.)
