Sister Monica Laughlin Music Ensemble Scholarship
The St. Scholastica Music Program invites both music and non-music majors to apply for the Sister Monica Laughlin Music Ensemble Scholarship. This scholarship is awarded to students who have achieved success in their musical training and plan to continue to be involved in large ensembles at St. Scholastica.
About the Scholarship
The Sister Monica Laughlin Music Ensemble Scholarship auditions are open to students in all majors at the College who sing or play in choir, band or orchestra. Students may receive up to $16,000 over four years (up to $4,000 per academic year) for participating in music ensembles. A student’s award is determined by the members of the Music program faculty following an audition and interview with the music faculty. The scholarship is automatically renewed each semester for a student who:
Continues to participate in scholarship music ensemble (band, choir or orchestra)
Is recommended by the director
Makes satisfactory academic progress as defined in the College catalog
Maintains full-time student status at St. Scholastica
Volunteers as an usher at one St. Scholastica Music concert per academic year
Music scholarships can only be offered to students who have been accepted to The College of St. Scholastica.
Students who audition early in the scholarship process may not receive notification of a music scholarship until after the Financial Aid Office has created an initial financial aid package. Students who are awarded full tuition scholarships or grants through this financial aid process are ineligible for additional music scholarships, even if they have already completed the audition process, because the combined amount of scholarships and grants offered by the institution cannot exceed the cost of tuition. Music scholarships cannot be used toward room and board.
If you have questions or concerns about this or any aspect of the audition process, please contact the Music program or the Financial Aid Office before you submit an application.
