Prospective students need only contact the Music Office to schedule an audition date & time. Current students should submit the form below:

These scholarships are the result of a generous donation by Dr. Waverly Cole of Richmond, Virginia, and are awarded to music majors as chosen by the music department faculty through audition. Amounts can range as high as full tuition.
Hull Music Scholarships
Provided through gifts from Mr. Andrew Hull and Duvahl Ridgeway Hull, the Hull Music Scholarships are awarded to students majoring in Music.
Those eligible for consideration must audition and interview with the faculty of the Music Department. Applicants must possess outstanding music performance ability and above average academic performances as determined by the Vice-president for Academic Affairs. Candidates must be residents of Virginia and full time students who intend to earn a bachelor's degree from Longwood prior to pursuing further graduate or professional study.
