Performance Awards: Music

The Department of Music offers scholarships in vocal, keyboard, wind, string and percussion performance to qualified high school students considering Bethel College. We base scholarship awards on auditions, which usually occur on the college campus. If you are taking private lessons and/or are in a school ensemble (choir, band, jazz and/or orchestra), you should consider auditioning for a performance award.
