Music Scholarships

Strike a chord with your education!

Maybe playing an instrument was just a hobby in your elementary years, but today you realize it's the foundation of your educational, spiritual, and professional life.

Very few seek the opportunity to pursue a successful career in music. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, less than 5% of all undergraduate degrees are awarded to visual and performing arts majors every year.

With our list of music scholarships, you can continue the path to a melodic dream, and be part of a unique community of musical masters.

If you're ready to strike a chord with your education and make music to all our ears, check out the scholarships for music majors below!
