Give to the Prospective Members
Scholarships
There are two different types of scholarships available for band students at the University of Utah. The first is a School of Music Scholarship and the second is award money available through marching band.
SCHOOL OF MUSIC SCHOLARSHIPS:
School of Music scholarships are generally available for students interested in major/minor areas of study within the School of Music. Please see the "AUDITIONS" page for audition information.
The amount of scholarship offered is determined by a student's playing ability and the need for instrumentation within the school's ensembles. Many prospective students like to ask, "How much can I expect?" No scholarship amount will be suggested until you receive an official offer from the School of Music.
MARCHING BAND SERVICE AWARDS:
The University of Utah Marching Band is a great way to earn extra cash for school. We are well supported by the University community and have award money available for many of our students. There are a few requirements, but these are to be considered for award only. The below requirements DO NOT affect membership.
1. You must be a full time student at the University of Utah. (You must be registered for 12 credit hours.)
2. You must maintain a 2.0 GPA to be considered for future awards.
3. You must represent yourself and the University in a positive and professional manner.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A MUSIC MAJOR TO BE CONSIDERED FOR A MARCHING BAND SERVICE AWARD.
