Auditions and Scholarships

Scholarships

The APU School of the Arts offers scholarships to undergraduate music majors. All students wishing to be considered for scholarships must audition.

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.

How to Schedule Your Audition and Apply for a Scholarship

1. Complete your APU Undergraduate Application
2. Select your music major (if applicable)
3. If eligible, complete your FAFSA (does not apply to international students)
4. Complete your audition

Scholarships are awarded on a rolling basis, so students are encouraged to audition as soon as possible for best consideration.
