The Coe College
Marshall
Music Scholarship:
A
Full-Tuition Scholarship for
students entering the Department of Music 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. The Bachelor of Music degree
is described in greater detail on the 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 $26,100 per year, or a total award of $104,400. 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, remain
on track in their major, and maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA
in coursework.
