Scholarships and Auditions
Talent grants are awarded for participation in ULM instrumental and vocal ensembles.
Regardless of their intended major, students must audition in order to be considered
for a talent grant. Talent grant awards are renewable on a yearly basis.
Students whose permanent residence is outside of Louisiana may be awarded an out-of-state
tuition waiver. For more information on financial aid and university scholarships, visit the ULM Office of Financial Aid and ULM Scholarship Office.
The audition process for prospective voice majors is listed below. Should you have
any additional questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact us. Auditions periodically
occur off-campus in local schools if that would be more feasible for you. Please contact
us if that is a better option for you or your prospective students.
Before being accepted as a music major, a student must successfully complete an entrance
audition (personal or solo performance recording) and a theory placement examination.
