Talent scholarships for instrumentalists?

[violadad]

<p>Just to clarify, within the context of the thread, the OP’s question was </p>

<p>

Basically, I am wondering if musicians get scholarships like athletes. If you’re really good at tennis, you might get a full-ride with the stipulation that you play on the team. Obviously, you don’t major in tennis. I’m wondering if the equivalent exists for instrumentalists who are skilled players but might not want to major in music or double major.

<p>In my fairly broad base of experience I have yet to hear of full tuition, let alone a full ride offer being given to a student for music talent alone if that student is NOT a music major. Music may be a part of it, but there are often merit, academic and need based factors within the package.</p>
