My son, a transfer student, took his first trial lesson from a cello teacher at Chapman, and the teacher would love to have my son there. I ran the NPC and there's a gap of, oh, about 37K after automatic merit and need-based aid. Our EFC is $8200. There's no way my kid can go there unless that gap is closed.
He's scheduled for 3 more trial lessons, two at Cal State schools and one at a private school.
So, how much are music scholarships really? I wonder if it's a waste of time for him to apply to most schools with that kind of gap.
