My daughter plans to study music in college (vocal performance, songwriting and recorded arts.) She is a rising senior and she is interested in applying for outside scholarships, big and small, to hopefully stack some money for college.
I was recently told there are popular, national sites like Fastweb, Cappex, and in zinc.h (guessing those are very competitive) but is there a national scholarship program/website out there specifically for music majors?
I know we should research state (New York in our case) and local scholarships too, but just wondering if any experienced scholarship seekers can point me in the best direction to begin the search.
My daughter is Hispanic, so I’m not sure if I should also be searching for minority scholarships.
Is there a downside to earning outside scholarships? I heard it may impact other aid provided by your college of choice. I would hate to have my daughter put extra time and effort into outside scholarships and realize it might hurt (or cancel out the benefit of) our overall financial package.
Any guidance is appreciated!
