The Coe College Marshall Music Scholarship (Visit this link)

A Full-Tuition Scholarship for students entering the Department of Music at Coe College who seek to pursue the Bachelor of Music degree in Composition, Music Education, or Performance
Who is Eligible?
Prospective students who will enter Coe College with a minimum 3.0 high-school GPA will be eligible to compete for a Marshall Scholarship in the spring prior to their fall enrollment. Candidates should have the motivation and background to pursue a pre-professional degree (Bachelor of Music) in one of the three tracks offered at Coe College: Composition, Music Education, and Performance. (Bachelor of Music degree is described in greater detail on application form) Demonstrated financial need shall not be a criterion for selection, though applicants will be expected to apply for all state and federal aid for which they are eligible. Prospects will audition at the Fine Arts Competition in February and, based on the audition and interview, music faculty will select the winners.
What is the Scholarship Amount?
The scholarship (in combination with any federal or state gift aid) will provide a generous award to be applied toward tuition equivalent to the amount of the tuition at the time of matriculation. Currently the amount of the award is $24,830 per year, or a total award of $99,320. The award does not apply to room, board, fees, or expenses. The scholarship will be continued for the same amount in the sophomore, junior, and senior years, provided the recipients declare their intent to pursue a Bachelor of Music degree and remain on track in their major, and maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA in coursework.
