Scholarships

If you're selected for admission to the WVU School of Music, you are automatically considered for merit scholarships and you may be awarded additional funding based on your audition.

Scholarships for First-Time Freshmen

When you apply to WVU, we automatically consider you for merit scholarships. The Climb Higher Scholarship is offered based on high school grade point average (GPA) — and only for the highest level, GPA plus ACT or SAT scores.

Our merit scholarships are:

  • Automatic. When you apply for admission, we check your academic record for scholarship eligibility. It’s that simple. No separate application. No recommendations or essays.
  • Non-competitive. That means if your GPA/test score qualifies, you get the scholarship. You’re not competing against other applicants.
  • Renewable. These scholarships renew past your freshman year, as long as you maintain certain requirements.

Talent-Based Scholarships

By participating in the WVU School of Music audition process, you will be considered for talent-based scholarships. Scholarship announcements will be made by April 1 each year and students will be contacted either way regarding their status. If you audition or attend a review after the final scheduled audition and portfolio review, scholarship opportunities are limited and we will contact you only if an award becomes available to you.
