<p>I have been admitted to the Jacobs School of music for undergraduate and really want to go. I was wondering what types of scholarships they give out. I have been looking everywhere and I can not find a dollar amount of what they give to people. Also how many undergrads receive these scholarships?</p>
<p>Google works quite well:

<p>As for “how many” students receive scholarships, no one here will be able to give you a definitive answer to that question. It depends upon funding, whether an award is “following” a student through their 4 years, your instrument/voice type or involvement in ensembles and many, many other variables. Dollar amounts are very seldom published.
You should have your financial aid letter very soon, but if you just can’t wait (you DO have until 5/1 to commit, you know!), give the admissions office a call or send them an e-mail. Meanwhile, you should have been looking for sources of funding in your local area; there are scholarships and awards given by community performing groups, civil organizations and societies. It may not be a lot of money, and might be only for the first year, but every little bit helps! Good luck and congratulations!</p>
<p>If you’ve been admitted then you probably want to know what kind of scholarship they will give to <em>you</em>, not people in general. Did you get your financial aid package?</p>
<p>I believe that they release finaincal info around April 1st.</p>
<p>Called them today. Scholarship info coming out next week. Good Luck!</p>
<p>One of the scholarship Jacob School of Music offers is Jacob scholarship. A Jacob scholar receives 31,000(as of last year) which covers everything except room and board. Good luck!</p>
<p>My S received his MM scholarship offer the other day from Jacobs. Just the amount, no specific details on cost of attendance, etc. More info can be found here [Tuition</a> & Financial Aid: Admissions & Financial Aid: Jacobs School of Music: Indiana University Bloomington](<a href=“http://www.music.indiana.edu/admissions/tuition/index.shtml]Tuition”>http://www.music.indiana.edu/admissions/tuition/index.shtml) and select either undergraduate or graduate for cost details.</p>
<p>Slovesviola Were you notified of the scholarship by email? We understand that all scholarship offers are released by email this week</p>
<p>Musicdad13, Yes, my S received it by e-mail. He applied for the graduate program so it may have come a few days earlier for those students. He spoke to the financial aid office last week and was told the target date was April 1.</p>
<p>Had to laugh. For some reason I looked at the title of this thread and thought “Boy, I wish my child would get accepted into the School of Music Scholarships!! Where are they located?”</p>
<p>Must . . . have . . more . . coffee . . .</p>
<p>Lol, designdad.</p>
<p>I have lurked here literally for years, and am appreciative of all of the info I have learned.</p>
<p>I had to register an account today simply to be able to say out loud to others who can appreciate it… this waiting is literally unbearable! </p>
<p>I have never fretted and hoped for and refreshed a discussion forum and checked email more in my life!</p>
<p>Being patient and having faith that all things will happen as intended. </p>
<p><em>worries now that I’ve jinxed things by speaking out loud about it!</em></p>
<p>There, I feel better (kind of)!</p>
<p>Awww, coolshop, hang in there! You are among friends who really know the feeling!</p>
<p>Coolshop - I can honestly say you are among friends who truly understand. I swear, the year my D (and I) were waiting, my postman thought I was stalking him!!</p>
<p>Thanks for the empathy! Apparently Jacobs has stated on the accepted students Facebook page that emails will come ‘no later than Saturday’.</p>
<p>AUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH</p>
<p>I’m glad I read this thread. At least now I know I’m not alone. This is my last option. If I don’t get a decent scholarship, I’m gonna have to transfer. And I REALLY don’t want to do that.</p>
<p>Called on April 1 and they said they would e-mail by today (April 6) but so far nothing at 7:30 PT. Any undergrad admitted students have news?</p>
<p>They now say that they are emailing through Sunday.</p>
<p>It’s no longer Sunday in Eastern Time. Still nothing. Kinda discouraged.</p>
<p>S’s e-mail from Jacobs just arrived. His scholarship award is $19,000. YESSSSSS!!!</p>
