--Music College Merit Scholarship Ranges
(depends on many factors: not only talent but how much a program needs your particular instrument and/or genre).
Berklee - $44k tuition. Merit Scholarships usually range from $10k to $20k. Some $30k (mainly from the Summer Program) and the rare full tuition and Presidential Award - tuition, room/board).
The New School - $46k tuition. Merit Scholarships range from $10k to $40k with most between $10k and $20k.
NEC -$48k tuition. Merit scholarships range anywhere from $5k to $34k.
Frost - $50k tuition. Offers anywhere from zero to full tuition. Most generous music school for scholarship. 5 Stamps Scholarships every year (full ride).
USC - $55k tuition. USC Thornton doesn’t give out much music merit, but I've seen them give $10,000 a year. Zero in Pop Music. Small potatoes in Jazz. Most money offered is for tippy top academics.
Belmont - academic scholarships only for 2 years.
Oberlin - meets financial need!
University of Michigan - ??
SFCM - ??
