As a potential music major in Minnesota, I'm curious if there are state-specific music scholarships I should know about. Are there online resources or organizations where I can find such scholarships?
Indeed, there are several organizations and online resources where you can seek state-specific music scholarships. I will mention a few options to narrow down your search.
1. The Minnesota Music Educators Association (MMEA): This organization has several scholarships specifically for Minnesota students interested in music education.
2. The Schubert Club: Providing scholarships to music students in Minnesota, this club holds an annual competition where awards are given to different instrument categories.
3. The Minnesota State Arts Board: While not a scholarship provider per se, this organization does list various grants and awards for artists, including students, in Minnesota. They might list scholarship opportunities from time to time.
Moving into the online resources:
4. Appily: This tool, previously known as Cappex, is a great place to search for scholarships, including those specific to music students.
5. CollegeVine: It's not a scholarship search engine, but it offers a lot of advice about applying to scholarships and other financial aid related topics.
Remember, it's important to start your scholarship search early, as some deadlines can be up to a year ahead of when the scholarship money is awarded. Additionally, the more scholarships you apply for, the more likely you are to receive something, so don't limit yourself to state-specific scholarships only! Good luck with your scholarship search!
