Scholarships
There are different types of scholarships available to both music majors
and non-majors. These include fall service awards of $1,000 for participation
in the Tiger Marching Band as well as a limited number of scholarships which
cover up to full tuition (in-state and out-of-state). For Louisiana residents,
the Louisiana Tuition Opportunity Program (TOPS) is available to qualified
students. It is one of the most innovative and progressive student assistance
programs in the nation. For out-of-state students, we offer very competitive
LSU School of Music tuition waivers for music majors. For non-music majors,
we offer the Tiger Band Golden Oaks Scholarship. This scholarship covers partial to full in and
out-of-state tuition for four years. This scholarship requires the recipient
to perform in the appropriate ensembles in the fall and spring as determined
by the Band Department. You can read more about our scholarships below.
Music Major Fee Waivors
Talented musicians may be eligible to receive partial or complete waivers
of fees. These waivers are competitive and are awarded according to the
needs of the College of Music and Dramatic Arts and the Band Department.
They are awarded by the Dean of the College of Music and Dramatic Arts on
the basis of ability as demonstrated by audition and/or scholarship.
Music Activity Awards
Selected top-level musicians who major in music, and who participate in
either Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Winds, Symphonic Band, or Orchestra during
the fall and spring semesters, are eligible for a $2,000 award. This award,
given by the Associate Dean of the College of Music and Dramatic Arts, is
paid over the fall and spring semesters and is based on a successful application
and audition.
Band Department Scholarships
Selected top-level musicians who participate in one or more Band Department
ensembles may be awarded a Band Department Scholarship. A limited number
of these scholarships are awarded to students based on the needs of the
Band Department. These scholarships are generally reserved for music majors.
Tiger Marching Band Activity Awards
Students selected for membership in the LSU Tiger Marching Band are eligible
to receive a $1,000 award.
This award is given to all members––Instrumentalists, Colorguard and Golden Girls.
Tiger Band Golden Oaks Scholarships (for non-music majors)
Outstanding incoming freshmen band students who will not major in music
may be eligible for a Tiger Band Golden Oaks Scholarship. Criteria for these
scholarships include a "B" average or higher in all math, science,
and English courses in high school, and an ACT score of 26 (SAT of 1170
without the writing component) or higher. These awards represent partial
to complete four-year tuition waivers for out-of-state students.
Last year, the full tuition waiver was over $11,000 a year for four years. Band Student Staff Work Scholarships
Students in the LSU Bands may qualify for a staff work scholarship. These
