<p>ddotjon: no, it’s not music, it’s general merit, based on gpa and SATs. See:

<p>My son is a sophomore there and loves it, he received this scholarship too. I was surprised when D. got her letter because her numbers aren’t quite enough-maybe they can give some consideration to talent too. We are in state, only about an hour away. I don’t know how much more out of state tuition is. It’s a beautiful setting for a campus, right on Lake Ontario. Don’t be scared off by the winter weather- it becomes a badge of honor! Last year was not normal!</p>
