Heisler Music Scholarships
The Heisler Scholarships are unique in that they are not based upon financial need. Recipients are chosen for their performance proficiency and their potential to contribute to the Music Program.
Scholarships are given for a maximum of one academic year and are renewable.
Applicants must apply to the Music Department, pass an initial audition/interview session, and maintain a 3.0 GPA once on campus.
