"And Here We Go."


    a.  Berry College (Mount Berry, GA; www.berry.edu)
    b.    Liberty University (Lynchburg, VA; www.liberty.edu)
    c.    Columbus State University (Columbus, GA; www.columbusstate.edu)
Going into music and fine arts, the colleges I look at have to have an evident music/theater program. Music-wise, I want a symphony orchestra and choir. Musical theater is something I want to be involved with in college. Certain colleges don’t allow you to major in music or drama education. That is obviously something I want to achieve.
I have quite a list of colleges that I’m looking at including: Berry, Liberty, Columbus State, Augusta State, Lee University, Anderson University, Kennesaw State and Reinhardt College. 
For music, or at least to obtain a music scholarship, it requires you to audition on voice or instrument.
Location, sports, and diversity aren’t really a concern of mine. However, size-wise, I prefer the smaller, more personal college. The majority of the colleges I show interest in are either private or below 10,000 students. I like a small student to staff ratio. I’m also not necessarily concerned about the ranking. I want a college that’s going to teach me and help me learn how to be the best I can be.
Berry is ranked as the 124th best liberal arts college in the US. Berry is associated with NASM or National Association of Schools of Music. The Winshape Program is also widely associated with Berry.

Scholarships:
1. Carpe Diem Foundation of Illinois Scholarship Program
2. Gail Ingram Scholarship
3. National Young Arts Foundation Scholarships

  1. Make sure you are familiar with requirements for fine arts program in the college you hope to attend (auditions, etc). I am sure there are specific music/fine arts scholarships available at each of the three schools you mentioned.
