Music Scholarship Auditions

The University of Minnesota, Morris offers scholarships for those interested in continuing their musical involvement in the collegiate setting.

Clyde Johnson Music Scholarships honor Clyde Johnson, professor emeritus of music, who served Morris from 1961 until 1999. Scholarships are awarded to selected University of Minnesota, Morris students who are involved in music and completely cover the fees for one year of weekly private individual music lessons in the student's chosen performance area.

Jazz Scholarships, through generosity of the Morris Jazz Alumni and friends and their donations to the Jim "Doc" Carlson Jazz Fund, are awarded to University of Minnesota, Morris students who display talent in jazz performance. Jazz scholarships range from $500 to $1500 (to be applied towards the cost of attendance).  In order to be eligible for these scholarships, students will take part in an on-campus audition *prior* to March 15th, 2019.

Auditions are arranged by appointment. Upon receipt of your request to audition, the Office of Admissions will reach out to make arrangements for your visit.

Auditions are held in 20-30 minute time slots and students are expected to perform their chosen pieces for 2-3 Morris music faculty. In addition, there will be a discussion of musical experience and goals. Students auditioning for these scholarships are given up to 30 minutes of warm up time in HFA practice rooms prior to the audition.

If interested, please fill out this form with your information and we will begin arranging your audition for you.
