The Augustana School of Music has four different types of scholarships available for first-year students. Each of these are designed to reward students' musical talents and help make an Augustana education more affordable. All scholarships require participation in an ensemble and may require private lesson instruction.
Our Pro-Musica Scholarship is our most competitive award, totaling $8,000 per year. Any student is eligible for this scholarship, regardless of their chosen major, through completing an application and audition. Successful awardees have typically been a principal/section leader in their high school ensemble and have had multiple years of private instruction.
The All-State Scholarship is available to any student who has made an All-State ensemble (band, orchestra, choir, jazz band) during any point in their high school career. This scholarship award amount is $3,000 per year and does not require an audition.
The Viking Marching Band Scholarship is available to any student who wants to be a part of Augustana's marching band. This scholarship award amount is $3,000 per year and does not require an audition. Once you are admitted into Augustana and enroll in Marching Band, the scholarship will be awarded.
Our Studio Scholarship is available at the discretion of our faculty, and is based on current areas identified for growth and emphasis in the School of Music. Any student is eligible for this scholarship, regardless of their chosen major - auditions are not required.
