WSU, DSO Start Music Scholarship Program

Wayne State University \'s department of music and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra have started a scholarship for music students to begin in the fall of 2006. The full-tuition scholarships will support the recruitment of local undergraduate students. Recipients of the WSU/DSO Scholarships in Music must be members of a DSO Civic ensemble and plan to enroll in one of WSU's six music degree programs. Each scholarship will be renewable up to four years, with a total cumulative value of more than $30,000. Wayne State 's Office of the Provost provided funding for the scholarships. The initial scholarships will be given to four string musicians and one piano student. Five additional awards will be made for the fall 2007, fall 2008 and fall 2009 academic years for a total of 20 renewable four-year scholarships.
