Eileen Hanselman Kuhlers Music Scholarship

Applicant must be an incoming freshman admitted to the Oshkosh campus for Summer 2025 or Fall 2025. Applicant must have an intended major in music performance (vocal or instrumental) or music education. Students must complete an audition to be admitted into the music department, however, audition performance is not a factor in award selection. Applicant must have a minimum high school GPA of 2.0. The primary criteria for selection are the applicant’s promise and potential to pursue music studies at the post-secondary level and an inability to attend college without the assistance of this scholarship. Applicant must have financial need based on the FAFSA, but must only qualify for federal loans and may not be eligible for need-based grants. Recipient must be enrolled full-time in order to receive the award. This award will be split evenly between the Fall 2025 and Spring 2026 semesters. If the recipient is not enrolled in the spring semester or is no longer majoring in music performance or music education, the second installment will be forfeited. The award is renewable for an additional three years provided the recipient continues to meet all of the criteria and funding is available.
