Non-Music Major Scholarships

Are you considering enrolling in Roberts, but not as a music major? Are you in the choir, orchestra, or band in your high school? Did you know that you do not have to be a music major at Roberts to participate in both our large and small ensembles?

We Have Non-Music Major Ensemble Scholarships Available!

  • Scholarships awarded based on skill level and our need for the
    instrument/voice part in our ensembles.
  • Scholarships will be awarded once you’ve completed your Free Application for
    Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
  • If you have any questions, contact the Department of Music & Performing Arts
    at music@soadonefnet.com or 585-594-6101.

    line “Non-Music Major Scholarship Audition.” In your email, please include the

    either with or without accompaniment. Please choose a selection that is
    moderately advanced to advanced in skill (if you are from New York, this would
