Music Scholarships
Scholarships & Auditions
Pacific has an extensive program of grants, scholarships, and awards to help students finance their
education. Several scholarships for music are awarded on the basis of talent, and do not require that
the recipient be a music major. All scholarship awards from the music department become part of the
total institutional package offered by the University to the student.
Audition day on campus is always the afternoon of the first Sunday in March. Auditions may also be scheduled by appointment or by submitting an audio tape or CD no later than March 1. To schedule an audition day time slot or an alternate audition appointment, please contact the Music Department at 503.352.2216 or 800.653.0561, x2216 (toll-free), or e-mail your request to music@pacificu.edu.
Audition selections should total 10-15 minutes and meet the following criteria:
- Pianists & Organists: Three works (each from a different period) selected from the Baroque, Classical and Romantic, or Modern Periods.
- Vocalists: Two Pieces, preferably in classical style, and at least one in a foreign language.
- Strings: Two contrasting pieces, or two movements from a solo sonata or concerto.
