Kenan Music Scholars Program
An $8 million gift from the William R. Kenan Jr. Charitable Trust to UNC has created sixteen full music scholarships for undergraduates and completed the funding for a new Music building in the College of Arts and Sciences. The first four Kenan Music Scholars were admitted in fall 2007 and the new building is scheduled to open in January 2009.
Kenan Music Scholars receive a full scholarship for four years covering
tuition, student fees, room and board, and other expenses; plus
additional support for summer research and similar activities. They
also benefit from a coherent program of special activities uniting work
on the concert platform and in the classroom with faculty in the Music
Department and distinguished visiting artists.
Scholars are selected on the basis of an established record of excellence in practice of music (performance, composition, etc.), significant academic strengths, and a strong commitment to majoring in Music at UNC-CH. There are usually four Scholars per entering class, with sixteen in the department in any given year.
Interested students (in-state and out-of-state) should ensure that their application to the University is submitted by the posted deadline (for further details, visit <admissions.unc.edu>) and must be admitted to the University in the normal way. Applicants should also visit the Music Department web-site (<music.unc.edu>) and follow the links for prospective students to submit a scholarship audition request by January 1. Following the general auditions held in January and February, candidates identified for the Program will be invited back for a final round of auditions in early March. All Music scholarship applicants will automatically be considered for the Program.
Further information can be obtained from Jeffrey Fuchs (jfuchs@email.unc.edu), Chair of the Music Department Scholarship Committee. This is an exciting new development marking a renaissance in the arts and Music at Carolina, and we hope that as many qualified students as possible will apply.
