Undergraduate Financial Aid and Merit Scholarships
Need-based aid is offered to qualified applicants and their families through the University Office of Student Financial Assistance. Applicants are encouraged, but not required, to apply for need-based assistance. To do so, applicants must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) available at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/. Please note that international students are not eligible for need-based financial aid.
Merit-based aid is offered to qualified applicants through the Office of Music Admissions and Financial Aid. Applicants are automatically considered for Jacobs School of Music financial aid at the time of admission. The director of admissions and financial aid, in consultation with individual departments, determines merit awards based on institutional need and recommendations from faculty. The audition/interview rating plays the strongest role in determining merit scholarships; however, other factors including an individual’s academic profile and financial need are often considered. Jacobs School of Music financial aid policies can be found at http://www.music.indiana.edu/admissions/tuition/2009UndergraduateFallScholarshipPolicies.pdf.
Merit-based assistance is made possible at the Jacobs School of Music by generous donors. The Jacobs School of Music gratefully acknowledges all persons and institutions who support our students and faculty by providing endowed funds and annual gifts.
