Many graduate students are awarded an assistantship during their studies. The specific duties and expectations of each award will be clearly outlined in the award letter sent to the student and reviewed annually. Changes in assignment or duties within an assignment are at the discretion of the School of Music and will be forwarded to the student by the School of Music or the student’s program advisor.
All students receiving an assistantship must complete online training assignments by the due date. Reprimands and possible removal of assistantship may result if a student fails to complete the required trainings by the due date.
Contact the Graduate Office for specific questions related to stipend payment schedule and the Human Resources Department to sign-up for medical benefits that might be available and paperwork required to finalize the appointment.
The School of Music awards the Music Scholarship and determines the amount according to the talent and musicianship displayed by the student in the audition, the ensembles’ need for the instrument or voice type, and the student’s proposed major. Scholarships are extended to the student each successive semester for a total of four semesters subject to the student’s:
At the end of each semester, the Scholarship Committee, comprising the division directors and the School of Music Head, reviews the academic progress of all students receiving a Music Scholarship. At that time, the Committee terminates the scholarship of any student who does not meet the stated GPA and enrollment requirements or places that student on scholarship probation or suspension. Regardless, the Committee notifies the student of the action in writing. Music Scholarships appear as a credit on the student’s bill. In general, students' accounts are credited with the scholarship and waiver sometime in the first three weeks of the semester.
