MILLIGAN COLLEGE, Tenn. (Nov. 6, 2014) — Scholarship deadlines for Milligan College’s music area and honors program are drawing near in November.
MUSIC SCHOLARSHIPS
Students interested in studying music can audition for scholarships up to $20,000 at Milligan on Friday, Nov. 21, from 2-6 p.m. in Seeger Chapel. The next audition is scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 31, 2015.
These talent-based awards are based on funds available, the quality of the audition and the applicant’s potential for success as a music major. Scholarships are available for students majoring in music performance, jazz studies, music education or music business.
Music scholarships averaging $2,000 also are available to non-majors who audition to participate in an ensemble, including strings in orchestra, singers in the choirs and band instruments for jazz ensemble, as well as piano and organ.
“The music area at Milligan is a strong and energetic program that offers wonderful opportunities to music students of all interests,” said Dr. Kellie Brown, chair of the music area.
Students must audition to be eligible for the scholarships. To learn more about Milligan’s music area and to schedule an audition for Nov. 21 or Jan. 31, contact Rita Myers, music area secretary, at 423.461.8723. If necessary, auditions can be scheduled on an individual basis or via video.
