The Stephens Promise
The Stephens Promise is our commitment to making college affordable for students who might otherwise rely on loans. The program provides grants (not loans) to current, new, and transfer undergraduate students who meet the criteria.
Conservatory
Students accepted to the Conservatory will receive a scholarship determined by their audition or portfolio submission. Conservatory students are not eligible for additional merit-based scholarship funds. The Conservatory scholarship evaluation considers both the student’s academic record and the quality of their audition or portfolio.
Conservatory students are eligible for both Stephens Promise and the Visit Scholarship.
