General Info on Scholarships
Jacques Abram Piano Scholarship
President's Trio Assistantship
Graduate Accompanying Assistantships
Graduate Teaching Assistantships
Scholarships are available in all areas of applied music,
and scholarship consideration will only be offered after a live audition is
completed. (Applicants applying from outside the state of Florida may submit a
videotape in lieu of a live audition on the USF campus. Should the applicant be
recommended for scholarship, a live audition may be required at the time the
student arrives on campus.) For audition dates, please click here.
In
addition, several Teaching and Graduate Assistantships are available to
graduate pianists at the School of Music that offer both a tuition waiver and
stipend. These Teaching and Graduate Assistantships help our graduate students
learn the important skills needed for teaching undergraduate level courses,
studio accompanying, and performing chamber music.
Jacques Abram Piano Scholarship
Offered each year, the Jacques Abram Piano Scholarship is
given to an outstanding pianist at the School of Music. This scholarship is
given by Franz Mantini in memory of Jacques Abram, a former Piano Professor at
the School of Music. Funds for this scholarship are raised each year by a
chamber concert held at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center.
President's Trio Assistantship
This Graduate Assistantship is given for a period of two
years to three graduate students (piano, violin, and cello) and is supported by
the University of South Florida's President Judy Genshaft. These three graduate
students form the School of Music "President's Piano Trio" and
receive weekly coachings by members of the string and piano faculties. In
exchange, they are expected to give piano trio recitals at the School of Music
and perform at various functions for the University of South Florida. This
Graduate Assistantship provides a full tuition waiver and stipend for each
member of the trio.
Graduate
Accompanying Assistantship
These assistantships are awarded to several graduate
pianists at the School of Music. They receive a full tuition waiver and stipend
in exchange for accompanying various instrumental and vocal studios at the
School of Music.
Several Teaching Assistantships for various academic music
courses are offered each year. There are also Teaching Assistantships for class
piano available to graduate students who already have 18 graduate credit hours.
Graduate students with this assistantship teach various sections of class piano
(Keyboard Skills) for the School of Music and receive a full tuition waiver and
stipend.
