The School of Music and Dance provides the foundation for our students to pursue careers in the arts and beyond. Our programs not only equip students with technical skills but also help them develop skills such as leadership, the ability to work with diverse teams, critical thinking, and project management which are essential for success in any field. They are committed to our community and passionate about their artistic endeavors.
Scholarships play an important role in recruiting the best students for our programs, especially those who might have financial barriers to furthering their education and careers. Not only do scholarships provide opportunities for the best musicians to grow at UO, but they also allow the School of Music and Dance to recruit strategically and maintain a careful balance within our ensembles. Imagine a symphony with too few violins, an opera without sopranos, or a marching band without a drumline.
A small gift from you can make a big difference for our students, so we hope you’ll consider joining our community today with a gift to support scholarships!
