Auditions & Scholarships

Southeastern boasts an excellent education at affordable prices which can be made even more affordable by means of financial assistance. We recommend that prospective students acquire and study the Student Financial Aid Handbook while keeping in mind that there are additional financial incentives through the Department of Music.

Auditions and Scholarships

Over 90% of the students in the music program receive financial aid from the Department of Music. These awards consist of tuition waivers, fee waivers, dormitory rooms, and books. Amounts vary and are awarded based upon high school musical accomplishments, musical proficiency, potential, and choice of major. In most cases, Music Majors will receive more assistance than non-Majors but substantial help can be earned regardless of major area. Almost all of our awards are renewable provided grades are maintained and responsibilities fulfilled.

Most of our awards are distributed at our "Super Saturday" extravaganza which will occur February 9, 2008. If you are unable to attend on that date, we have a designated make-up audition day scheduled for Tuesday February 12, 2008. Students wishing to audition for scholarships for the 2008–2009 school year should contact us to schedule an audition time.

Every student who participates in any of the Music Department’s ensembles is eligible for financial assistance. The type and amount of financial aid is based on the student’s talent and need. One way or another, there is a place for you in The Department of Music at Southeastern!

The Music Department has work study and regular work positions available for those students who qualify. There are also a variety of loans and grants available to many students. Each student should contact Financial Aid for further information on all forms of financial assistance. Also, please visit the Future Students web site for more information on applying for admission to Southeastern.
