Scholarships
APU Music offers scholarships to undergraduate music majors. All students wishing to be considered for scholarships must audition.
The APU Music Scholarship (music majors only) is a generous, talent-based scholarship program renewable up to eight semesters while completing an undergraduate music degree. Based on an incoming student’s audition(s), the scholarship committee will evaluate the student’s overall talent and potential contribution to the Music Program, and award scholarships accordingly.
How to Schedule Your Audition and Apply for a Scholarship
- Complete your APU Undergraduate Application
- Select your music major and instrument (if applicable)
- If eligible, complete your FAFSA (does not apply to international students)
- Complete your audition
Scholarships are awarded on a rolling basis. Students are encouraged to audition as soon as possible for best consideration.
