| Weenie - All my D's acceptance letter said was that she would be considered for merit scholarships including NMF (which she wasn't even in the running) and "high achieving out of state" scholarships. They have never given us any details about cut offs or criteria. Someone on CC told me they were told it was guaranteed for any OOS student with an ACT of 29+ or SAT of 1280+ and top 15% of class. Technically, the OOS is $6850. The additional $1000 was from the Oxford Scholar Program (which is 1250 SAT and top 10%). That one burns me a bit, because I think she belongs in the Honors program (which is $2000 and preferential treatment.) |

| bassoonmom - this is confusing, I know, but this thread is last year's awards, and I'm thinking you meant to post on the other thread for 2008, right?
Anyway, congratulations. So where is he heading, do you know yet? Utah looks good!  | |

| Thumper1 - do you mean in-state tuition was not offered at UNT? That's worth at least $16k a year off the top. UNT is totally affordable for scholarship students, even out-of-state. | |

| Violinmom...DS didn't receive a scholarship at UNT at all. He made the mistake of doing an audition NOT on the UNT campus. As he put it...that was a big mistake. He was accepted on the spot when he auditioned...but his scholarship "audition" was on tape. He should have flown down there. You are correct...when a student at UNT receives a scholarship in excess of $500 a year (I think that is the amount), they also get instate tuition. Even without that, the costs are modest. | |

| UNT classical department may be different. But for vocal jazz, your audition specifically for jazz scholarships is on CD or DVD only, not in person -- at least that is my understanding. (And would make sense, considering that at least one of the audition performances has to be with a live rhythm section)
We have been strongly advised to audition in person, on-campus, for best chances for admission.
UNT's scholarship/tuition waiver policy is if you qualify for ANY competitive scholarship -- talent or academic -- valued at $1000 and up annually, out-of-state students pay in-state tuition rates.
God, I hope my daughter gets in. That is such a sweet deal! | |

| Vic, that is what they say, but my D was also accepted on the spot at her audition, and offered a scholarship before she left the room at UNT. She took a DVD and gave it to them, per the instructions on the website but they had not watched it yet...guess they have some leaway. | |
