- Sunderman is for music majors; Wagnild is for music majors, minors and occasionally highly talented nonmajors. Headley Paul is described as an award for an enrolled music-degree student, with keyboard/piano preference. All require an audition.
- Good to know
- Renewal requires satisfactory music-degree progress, private study and GPA; Wagnild additionally requires faculty-assigned ensemble participation. Exact scholarship GPA thresholds are not published. Headley Paul's eligibility page says enrolled students, so do not assume it is an incoming first-year award. The separate Patrick Grant considers financial need.
