Hey psu - my husband is a Penn State Alum '78 - good luck to your son! What’s his instrument?

My D is a freshman viola major who apparently nailed her audition, if you believe the people who heard her. But in my experience, Hartt does give a fair amount of students scholarships - I know at least two people there who chose the school in large part because of the merit aid offered, and her roommate (an art major) also received a large scholarship from that department. I think it’s basically a combination of audition results and test scores/GPA etc?

She has some friends in the Recording program and I’m told they’re very bright and work really hard! I believe her particular friends also happen to be in the University Honors Program. It’s a nice group of kids - she’s got 15 (nonmusic major) friends coming to tomorrow’s orchestra concert to support her!
