Entrance Scholarships

Each year, several entrance scholarships are available to incoming music students. Thanks to a generous bequest from Hugh Livingstone Maze we are able to offer more than $3,000 in aid to incoming music students each year, including:

• Douglas College Music Scholarships
• Meiji University Mandolin OB Music Club Scholarship (for a guitar student)
• Hugh Livingston Maze Music Scholarships
• Performance-Based Scholarship (full tuition for two years)

No application is required. To be considered for these scholarships, students must:

• Audition during the earliest audition period (late April) and achieve a high performance standard.
• Meet the academic entrance requirements for the College
• Meet the entrance requirements for the University Transfer Music Program

Students transferring from the Basic Musicianship Program to the UT program are automatically considered for entrance scholarships.

A number of scholarships are also available to students continuing in the University Transfer Program.

• Tatsuo Hoshina Music Scholarship (Voice)

These scholarships are available to returning students who have achieved a record of excellence in performance, academic work or both, and must be used for second year studies at Douglas College. No application is required.
