Furman University Presidential Music Scholars

The Presidential Music Scholarship is available to exceptionally high-achieving and talented student scholar-musicians at Furman, building on generations of excellence in musical and academic instruction. Any high school senior applying for admission to Furman is eligible to submit their recorded audition or audition in person for consideration. Presidential Music Scholars may major in any discipline. Scholars are given priority consideration for music class registration, applied music instruction, and ensemble participation. Presidential Music Scholarships are awarded in addition to Bell Tower Scholarships (merit-based scholarship) and Financial Aid (need-based aid). These awards are determined by both the quality of the audition and the core needs of the music program. Presidential Music Scholars may major in any discipline but are required to register for the appropriate ensemble for their instrument in addition to private lessons on that instrument.
