James B. McCleary Music Scholarship
Music is a source of passion and self-expression for many students who need a creative outlet in the midst of the stress of life.
Music has the ability to change one’s life, whether through professional success in the music industry or through self-discovery. Unfortunately, many prospective students aren’t encouraged to pursue their musical dreams, making it difficult for them to succeed in their studies.
This scholarship aims to support students who are majoring in music so they have the motivation necessary to thrive.
Any undergraduate or graduate student who has financial need and is majoring in music may apply for this scholarship.
To apply, tell us how music has changed your life. You may also add a sample of your musical ability if you’d like.
