For several years the Eddie Barnes Memorial Music Scholarship Foundation has awarded a generous scholarship for a graduate jazz performer, as selected and recommended by the jazz faculty. The foundation will continue this award.

Students who wish to be considered for scholarship aid should have applied for any federal and state aid for which they may be eligible. They should furnish a copy of their financial aid forms to the music office for the scholarship committee, together with a letter setting forth their circumstances and reasons for requesting aid. Some scholarships are restricted to certain majors most are awarded on the basis of both talent and need.
