Does the Conservatory award merit scholarships?
All Conservatory applicants are automatically considered for merit-based financial aid. Competitive merit awards–up to and including the full-tuition Distinguished Musician-Scholar Program–are based on the strength of the audition and the applicant’s overall musical achievement and promise. Conservatory applicants are also considered for additional merit- and need-based aid administered by Bard College. The FAFSA and CSS Profile are used to determine financial need.
