Music College Scholarships

By Mike Brown

Education is the key for a successful career, which is why it is the primary responsibility of all parents to send their children to school. Although education is a necessity, not all parents are able to fund their children's schooling. Most usually stop after they graduate from high school.

This is truly happening in almost any part of the world, and according to statistics, the number is increasing year after year. And this is probably why the government and other private organizations are looking for ways to give scholarships to capable students with limited financial resources.

Students have different talents. Some students are good in sports, others in computers, and others in the arts like dancing and music. More and more scholarships are now available that focus on a particular field of interest. If you really love music and are good at it, there are scholarships for college.

Music is very popular, and many students are becoming interested in this certain area. Although some parents may not like their children to pursue a career in music (because what they want is a more stable career), students have a choice.

Here are a few music scholarships available to students:

1. Bel Canto offers a $15,000 scholarship for people between the ages of 20 and 37 who want to pursue a career in opera in the United States.

2. The John Lennon program for BMI scholarship. This scholarship is awarded to songwriters. You must have some mad skills in writing original compositions. You can only take advantage of this scholarship if you are invited.

3. The String Magazine Scholarship. This scholarship is open to any student who is currently enrolled in an undergraduate program. This scholarship is based on academic merit and financial need.

4. FAME also awards college scholarships for students who are nominated for professional achievement for senior college students.

There are many more music scholarships available. You can find them online by searching music scholarships. You then go to the different websites and see what the requirements are and how to apply.

Another thing that you can do is that every big university has a scholarships list. Contact the registrar for scholarship information.

Music is a field of interest which only very few individuals take interest. So if you're one of the few people struggling to get a college degree in music, begin your search for the scholarship. If you think you can pass the required qualifications, go and take the chance.

Do not be discouraged by the financial difficulties you are now facing. Most of us are either in, or have been in, financial hardship in our lives.

Financial constraints are not enough to stop you from getting that college education. Choose the best option available for you. This is your way to a dazzling career in the near future.

Your are a gifted and talented individual. Share those talents with the world. Do not give up. Show the world that your love of music transcends even financial difficulties.
