Program/Scholarship Auditions
All Auditions will be held In-Person, Feb 4th and Feb 11th, in Mason Hall Room 107.
Jazz Scholarships are awarded to students who demonstrate an aptitude and desire to participate in the Jazz Studies Program. Students receiving a Jazz Scholarship are required to participate in JSU Jazz Ensembles and JSU Jazz Combos as needed.
Anyone who is interested in auditioning for Scholarships to the JSU Jazz Studies program must complete an application through the JSU Website Scholarship Page, http://www.jsu.edu/finaid/scholarships/, and contact me directly at [email protected].
