Music Program at SUNY Plattsburgh - Music Scholarships

Music Scholarships

Heisler Music Scholarships

The Heisler Scholarships are unique in that they are not based upon financial need. Recipients must be enrolled as a music major, minor or concentration. They are chosen for their performance proficiency and their potential to contribute to the music program.

Scholarships are given for a maximum of one academic year and are renewable.

Applicants must apply to the Music Department, pass an initial audition/interview session, and maintain a 3.0 GPA once on campus.
