College Scholarship for Students with Interests in Music

By Mike Brown

Education is the key for a successful career, which is why it is the primary responsibility of all parents to send their children to school. Although education is a necessity, not all parents are able to fund their children's schooling. Most usually stop after they graduate from high school.

More and more people no longer have the financial resources to send their kids to school. This is true not only in America, but around the world. Private organizations and governments are stepping up ways to help kids with limited resources stay in school and complete college. There is an increasing number of scholarships available.

Students are not alike; in fact, each individual has his/her own distinct characteristic and talent. Some students have talents in the arts, dancing, singing, and music. Now, there are scholarships for particular fields of interest. And if you do love music very much, there are a lot of scholarships for college music.

Music is extremely popular and many students are good in this area of study. Many parents convince their children to not choose a career in music because it is a very unstable career and few people really make a living at it. But in the end, it is the students choice alone about what they want to do with their future.

Here is a list of some of the music scholarships available for students:

1. A vocal scholarship is available from Bel Canto. The Bel Canto foundation awards over $15,000 to people between the ages of 20 and 37 who plan on pursuing a career in opera in the United States.

2. The John Lennon BMI scholarship. This scholarship is by invitation only. This scholarship is awarded to songwriters.

3. The String Magazine Scholarship. This scholarship is open to any student who is currently enrolled in an undergraduate program. This scholarship is based on academic merit and financial need.

4. The FAME scholarship award. FAME is for college seniors only who have demonstrated professional achievement.

You can find more musical scholarships on the Internet. Basically you need to Google music scholarships then go to the websites and see what the requirements are to qualify.

Almost any big university offers a form of scholarship, check with their registrar for scholarship information. There are universities in your local area, take time to visit them. It would be best if you make a list of the different college scholarships awarded to students with interest in music.

Music is a field of interest which only very few individuals take interest. So if you're one of the few people struggling to get a college degree in music, begin your search for the scholarship. If you think you can pass the required qualifications, go and take the chance.

Do not be discouraged by the financial difficulties you are now facing. Most of us are either in, or have been in, financial hardship in our lives.

Financial constraints are not enough to stop you from getting that college education. Choose the best option available for you. This is your way to a dazzling career in the near future.

You are a gifted individual. Share your talent with other people, and show them your love for music. And who knows, you might just be the one that the music industry is waiting for all these years.
