<p>Lencias, I’m a bit confused about your use of “free”. If you mean it in terms of freedom to pursue multiple pursuits, the liberal arts options provided by stephmin and Oberlin’s TIMARA are probably the best bets.</p>
<p>If you mean free as in low or no cost, most BA liberal arts based programs will offer scholarship/grant money based on grades, stats and musical talent. Conservatory level BM programs will base their awards largely on the basis of perceived talent and potential as evidenced by audition and/or portfolio submissions as ranked within a specific applicant pool.
Full music tuition scholarships are not uncommon, but tend to be given to those at the very top of the food chain talent wise; full ride scholarships based on talent and potential are rarer still.</p>
