Filene Music Scholarships
| Filene Music Scholarships
are awarded each year through a performance competition coordinated
by Skidmore's Department
of Music. Each Filene Scholarship carries with it a four-year
award totaling $40,000. |
| At least four scholarships
are awarded for each incoming class, with three of the awards being
made solely on the basis of musical excellence, without regard to
area of specialization. The fourth scholarship will be awarded to
help meet the department's current ensemble needs. |
| The annual scholarship
of $10,000 is awarded to competition winners without consideration
of financial need, and it is credited in $5,000 installments to
the recipient's account in the fall and spring semesters. Financial aid applicants who demonstrate financial need will receive Skidmore grant aid in addition to their Filene Scholarships. For
more information on Skidmore grant assistance, contact the Office
of Student Aid and Family Finance, 518-580-5750. |
| Scholarship awards
are renewed each year if the student continues in good academic
standing and receives the recommendation of the Department of Music.
Filene Scholars are not required to major in music; they are expected,
however, to continue to develop their skills through private instruction
in the Music Department each semester and to participate in department
ensembles each semester as determined by the department chair. |
The Final Round of the Filene Scholarship Competition will be on April 4, 2009
