I’m no expert on the organ world, but schools a close friend applied to when in need of great financial assistance (and lacking the means to take many auditions, so he focused primarily on safety-type applications) were Hope College and East Carolina University. Of course, ECU just lost its entire organ department to Indiana, so perhaps that’s off the list.
Safety programs with minimal academic requirements are tough to come by.
Two young programs with less than elite admissions are Shenandoah Conservatory and the Sunderman Conservatory at Gettysburg. No idea of the academic components of either, nor the organ situation, but perhaps they merit a look.
