Music majors who receive music scholarships must maintain, each semester in residence, a minimum overall Grade Point Average (GPA) of 2.75 and a minimum Grade Point Average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale for music courses. Students whose GPA falls below either minimum will have their scholarship rescinded for the subsequent semester. In addition to the GPA requirement, music majors must maintain full-time enrollment and complete, with a grade of “C” or better, the courses and performing ensembles required of their degree program and/or specified on their scholarship agreement form. Additionally, music majors must demonstrate satisfactory progress in their applied performance areas as determined by juries and applied music instructors. A music major whose scholarship has been rescinded or not renewed for academic or performance deficiencies may appeal the decision to the Department of Music Recruiting and Scholarship committee. Appeals must be submitted to the Committee in writing with an explanation of mitigating circumstances. The decision of the Scholarship Committee is final. A music major whose scholarship has been rescinded may reapply for a Department of Music scholarship after all academic and performance deficiencies have been corrected. Music major scholarships are renewable each academic year by submission of a Music Scholarship Renewal Application by February 15. The department is not obligated to award scholarships beyond the normal eight semesters.
