My daughter applied to the University of Miami Frost School of Music contemporary music program (MADE/CAM) as a popular music vocalist/songwriter. We are still waiting to hear back on prescreen results, but I was wondering if there are any students who auditioned and were accepted into this program, who graduated from the program or who are currently enrolled. I am hearing that there are many talent scholarship opportunities for the Jazz program but little for MADE/CAM candidates. I am hoping some of you can prove this information false and report a big talent scholarship for a MADE/CAM student. Perhaps wishful thinking? So far, I have not heard of any MADE/CAM candidate receiving any talent scholarship money. I understand it is a popular program with a large waiting list, so perhaps they don't have a need to offer much money to attract great candidates. My daughter toured the department this summer and loves the program but it is definitely over our price range and we will not be getting much financial aid. In addition, we do not expect any academic merit as her GPA is strong but her ACT/SAT scores are below the averages they report. She has a great list of colleges and has already been offered some very generous scholarships, but I know she is hoping that Frost can be a realistic option. Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you and Happy New Year!
