Scholarships

Undergraduate

  1. Music Department Scholarships
    The Music Department awards a limited number of generous scholarships to outstanding applicants for the Music Major. The department also offers some scholarships to deserving students who are already in the program. There is no need to apply for these scholarships, since we assume that all of our students would be interested in them. Each year, the department discusses and considers new scholarships for both new and returning students, and then notifies students who will be receiving scholarships.
  2. MUSE Scholarships
    The MUSE Scholar Program is one of several four-year scholarship programs at Hunter College for incoming freshmen who demonstrate high academic achievement and potential. Specifically aimed at artistically talented and academically strong students, the MUSE Scholar Program helps undergraduates take advantage of Hunter’s exceptional arts programs, faculty and resources.  For more information and to apply for a MUSE Scholarship, please click here.
