| Not many scholarships would cover the purchase of a new instrument. Most scholarships cover just a portion of tuition and, if you get a really big one, it may also cover housing expenses and meals. The ones that actually pay you a stipend above the cost of attendance are extremely rare.
Some colleges have loaner instruments, but don't count on them being the kind of professional instrument that $6000 would buy. More likely they would be an intermediate level instrument costing a third to a half of that amount. |
