| I don't usually post on this forum as I don't have a child who wants to major in music but I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night! I just had to say that, sorry! I lurk because even though my D doesn't want to major in college, she would like to pursue playing opportunities.
On the Ohio question, I'll try to answer. If anyone thinks that I'm wrong, please correct me, but this is what I understand. CIM and Oberlin are private schools and therefore to my knowledge do not offer any special pricing for Ohio residents. CCM on the other hand is affilated with the University of Cincinnati and is considered a state school with state school prices. Additionally, UC offers every student who scores over a 26 on their ACT at least $2000 dollars/year provided they meet a min. GPA. They are invited to attend the Cincinnatus competition (my S went and we saw many accepted CCM students there). They can compete (through essays) for additional money up to full tuition. I do wonder if these awards are also based on need. None of my S's friends were offered more than the $2000 even though they were very strong candidates.
I don't know if CCM offfers department scholarships, I wonder if someone else knows. But my S, an engineering major was offered a very generous department scholarship. |
