Music Education and Music Therapy (MEMT) has available scholarship funds for graduate music therapy equivalency or Master’s students preparing for a career in music therapy. Alumni and friends of MEMT endow general scholarship funds.

Scholarships are based primarily on academic and experiential merit with concern for financial need.

Such students should submit additional documentation from individuals who can verify the special circumstances.

The following students are eligible to compete for these scholarships:

Graduate students may apply for a scholarship upon submission of the graduate application and all supporting admission materials to Music Education and Music Therapy. Applicants for this scholarship will only be considered upon full acceptance into the Music Therapy program.

Awards are made for the full academic year. Usually half of the award will be deducted from the fall semester fees and half from the spring semester fees. The Music Therapy Scholarship Committee determines all awards.

Scholarship application deadline is April 1 prior to the fall for which you plan to attend. This form is reviewed by Dr. Cindy Colwell and questions can be directed to ccolwell@ku.edu.
