Scholarships

The School of the Arts Music Scholarship (music majors only) is a generous, talent-based scholarship program renewable up to eight semesters while completing an undergraduate music degree within the APU School of the Arts. Based on an incoming student’s audition(s), the scholarship committee will evaluate the student’s overall talent and potential contribution to the School of the Arts, and award scholarships accordingly.
