Music Scholarships

Scholarships

For students entering in Fall 2025:

• Prospective music majors submitting auditions by December 31 (see instructions below) will be considered for a full-tuition scholarship. Finalists for the scholarship will be called back for an in-person audition in February.
• Prospective music majors who do not submit an audition by December 31, or who do not submit an audition at all, will be given an automatic award of $5,000 per year.
• Non-majors who intend to participate in an ensemble and take applied lessons on their instrument receive $4,000 per year. No audition is necessary, but students should indicate their interest in a music scholarship on their application to Concordia.
• Students who wish to apply for a music scholarship after they have submitted their application to Concordia should contact their admissions counselor.

Instructions for music majors submitting auditions

1. First, complete an application for admission to Concordia. We cannot consider your scholarship application until this is done. Mark a performance scholarship intent on your application. 
2. Record your video audition and upload it to a file sharing site (an “unlisted” video on YouTube works well). Auditions should be under 10 minutes in length and should include two pieces in contrasting styles. See specific instructions for various instruments on the scholarship application.
3. Submit your music scholarship application.
4. Submit your FAFSA.
5. If possible, arrange a personalized visit to campus. We would like to meet you when you aren’t stressed about an audition.
