More than $2,100,000 of cash prizes, university scholarships, and summer program scholarships will be available to participants of the 2012 High School & University Competition. These programs have offered in the past and we will be updating this list throughout the year. We thank these schools and programs for their participation and generosity!
UNIVERSITY and SUMMER PROGRAM SCHOLARSHIPS
The majority of the university scholarships will be awarded at the Final Round Concert in Chicago on Sunday, May 27, 2012 at the Westin O'Hare Hotel.. However, schools may offer scholarships to qualified singers at any point of the Competition.
Schools can offer their scholarship to whatever singer they choose. The criteria of each scholarship is determined by the participating school.
Students may receive more than one scholarship offer. It is then up to the student whether or not to accept the scholarship. All communication and acceptance dialogue is then between the school/program and the singer.
Students are eligible for scholarships to all schools, not just the school that hosted their First Round.
The majority of university scholarships will be given to juniors and sophomores as many schools are not allowed to give scholarships to seniors after May 1.
