ALL STUDENTS
Need-based financial aid is available to all non-international students and is processed through the University of Cincinnati Financial Aid Office. Please visit the University's Student Financial Aid Information site.

UNDERGRADUATE
All applicants to the College-Conservatory of Music are automatically considered for a scholarship based solely on ability as demonstrated in the admissions audition/interview. Applicants must complete all university and CCM admissions procedures for awards which range from partial to full instructional fees.

Scholarships are awarded for one year, and are renewable subject to the following conditions:

• Maintenance of a cumulative GPA of a 3.0 or higher. (Freshmen must satisfy this at the end of every year and transfers and returning students at the end of every quarter).

• The registration and completion of at least 12 credit hours each quarter of the academic year.

• Satisfactory performance for the faculty through board appearances in the student's area, and evidence of continued progress, development, and ability in that area.

• Participation in at least one ensemble each quarter of the academic year (music majors only).

Scholarships for summer study are available and awarded separately.  In order to be considered for a scholarship, applicants must be admitted unconditionally (minimum 3.0 GPA) and receive positive recommendation from the faculty in the major program of study. The scholarships are then awarded by the CCM Graduate Admissions and Awards Committee.

The graduate assistantship also includes payment for the quarterly general fee. A personal interview in Cincinnati is generally required for consideration.
