Student Scholarship Opportunities
Biola Undergraduate Scholarships
Students in any of our undergraduate programs may be eligible for the various undergraduate scholarships offered by Biola University. Review scholarship requirements and deadlines on the financial aid website.
Conservatory Departmental Scholarships
The Conservatory offers scholarships to music majors based on talent, potential and how the student can contribute to ensembles. Scholarships are awarded after music major auditions have taken place.
Ensemble Scholarships
The availability of ensemble scholarships varies depending on the ensemble. Acceptance into an ensemble is based on an audition at the beginning of semester, and this audition determines the scholarship as well.
