UWSP at Wausau Music Scholarship Auditions
All incoming students interested in participating in a UWSP at Wausau Music Ensemble (Vocal Jazz, Concert Choir, Concert Band, Jazz Ensemble) are encouraged to audition for a UW-Stevens Point at Wausau Music Scholarship. You do not need to be a music major to audition for a scholarship.
Scholarships range from $250 - $1,500 (award amounts based on audition and the needs of the music program). Most scholarship awards are between $500 and $1,000 and are equal to or exceed the amount given by many other UW music departments.
