Music Scholarship Day

Minnesota State Moorhead is excited to welcome you to Music Scholarship Day!

Minnesota State Moorhead offers a variety of music scholarships for vocalists and instrumentalists alike. Music majors and non-music majors are equally considered for scholarship awards in order to perform in Minnesota State Moorhead ensembles such as the Wind Ensemble, Concert Choir, Orchestra, Jazz Band, Guitar Ensemble and Percussion Ensemble. Area-specific scholarships for music education, piano, composition and academics are also available for current students and upperclassmen. Applying a music scholarship is easy! All Minnesota State Moorhead scholarships (music, academic, and more) use the same online scholarship application. Once the application is completed, before February 1, you should follow the steps below to complete the music audition process.
