Scholarships
Martin Reid

Each year, the Department of Music at Southwestern gives away thousands of dollars in scholarship money to elite musicians. Music Festival Scholarships are awarded to talented juniors and seniors that are selected by Southwestern’s music faculty. The faculty will select a number of students as scholarship finalists, which would include an invitation to perform at Southwestern’s Showcase Concert on April 3, 2013, in Wharton Auditorium. The Department of Music will provide travel, food and lodging for all the scholarship finalists. In addition to the music scholarships and the performance at the Showcase Concert, all finalists have a chance to be selected to perform during Sunday evening’s final concert at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas, Texas. For more information please email Jonathan Wall, chairman department of music, at jwall(at)swau.edu.
