Admissions
How to Apply
To be a music major or to be awarded a music scholarship at A-State (non-music majors are eligible for certain music scholarships), students must be accepted into both the university and the Department of Music. Acceptance into the Music Department is contingent on audition. Students must fill out the Music Department Application Form to begin the process of scheduling an audition and being accepted into the Music Department.

Scholarships
In addition to the academic scholarships available at A-State, the Department of Music also offers scholarships for interested students of all types and majors. In fact, most year-round members of marching band/concert band, regardless of major, receive some form of music scholarship. To be considered for music scholarships, students must first apply and audition for the appropriate area of study (Band, Choral, Strings, etc.) and then participate in the required ensembles. Privately funded music scholarships may also be awarded to eligible students but must be applied for separately. Regardless of major, all students MUST audition to be considered for music scholarships.
