Entrance Scholarship Auditions for 2025

For more information on entrance scholarships, or to schedule an audition, please fill out the form below. 

These auditions are for University applicants who intend to make music their major (or double major) after their first year of studies or to external applicants transferring to UW music from a non-music program.

These application auditions will open in September 2022. Those who do not audition prior to starting at UW can still do so once they are a current Arts student for performance courses and the music major program.
