A wide variety of performance opportunities await our students each year, with orchestras, bands, choirs and opera, jazz nonets and combos, small ensembles, and more.
A variety of programs and initiatives operate continuously or annually to enhance learning experiences and help students prepare for their future in music.
The MSU College of Music supports and challenges students, values innovation and creativity, and helps every community member achieve professional excellence.
Scholarships and grants are financial aid assistance that does not need to be repaid. They may be awarded based on need, or excellence in academics or other areas, or on a combination of both. The aid may be given by the federal or state government, by MSU, or by a private donor. For further information visit the web site of the Office of Financial Aid (http://finaid.msu.edu).
Scholarships are awarded upon recommendation of the faculty in recognition of musical ability and merit. These awards are made by the College of Music and are separate from other awards made by the University based on financial need. Students receiving music scholarships are expected to carry a full academic course load and perform in a major ensemble each term, make normal progress toward their degrees, and fulfill other requirements as listed on the scholarship contract. Scholarships may be renewed.
Your scholarship will be listed and deducted from your fee at the time of billing. If your scholarship award is not listed on your bill, you should check with the undergraduate office in Room 118 Music Building.
