Emerson Scholarships in Music

Emerson Scholarship/Fellowship Program for Private Study

Each year the MIT Music Section awards scholarships and fellowships to approximately 50 qualified students on a competitive audition basis.

The Music Performance Program is generously funded by Mr. Cherry L. Emerson, Jr. (SM, 1941) who was a strong supporter of the arts at MIT for many years. Scholarships and fellowships are awarded based on skill and potential exhibited during live auditions, not on financial need.

If you are a beginning musician or are not offered an award, you may still choose to study privately if you can fund your lessons.
