The St. Scholastica Music Program invites both music and non-music majors to apply for the Sister Monica Laughlin Music Ensemble Scholarship. This scholarship is awarded to students who have achieved success in their musical training and plan to continue to be involved in large ensembles at St. Scholastica.

Scholarships can only be offered to students who have been accepted to The College of St. Scholastica. In addition, the total amount of scholarships and grants cannot exceed the cost of tuition.

This application form is due 7 days before your intended interview date. Fill out the form and click Submit.

Submit a video recording of yourself performing one or two selections that best represent your musical abilities and range of skill, up to 5 minutes long. Upload your audition recording(s) to YouTube, Google Drive, or another online hosting service and include the link in your application. If your recordings aren't ready when you are submitting the application form, you can email the link (at least 7 days before your intended interview date) to evaline@css.edu.
A completed recommendation form from your high school music director is required. The form will automatically be emailed to your director after you submit this application. Talk to your director and request that they fill it out at least 7 days prior to your intended interview date.
