Thank you for considering Westminster College of the Arts' Westminster Choir College. We invite you to visit our campus to learn more about Westminster’s programs and to meet faculty, staff and current students who will be happy to answer your questions.

We encourage you to review the application instructions carefully, then complete your application for admission (you may also apply online) and schedule an audition as early as possible to maximize your opportunities for receiving financial aid.  Applications and the $50 application processing fee must be received at least three weeks in advance of the requested audition date.  We cannot guarantee that requests to schedule an audition received less than three weeks prior to the requested audition date will be accommodated. 

Most graduate admission decisions are made on a "rolling admissions" basis. Applications are evaluated when the audition has been completed and required application materials are received. Notification letters are sent as soon as each decision is made throughout the year.

Although there are no formal application deadlines, students are encouraged to submit the application by March 1 for Fall admission and October 1 for Spring admission.

Financial aid decisions and awards are made each spring for students planning to enroll in the Fall semester and awards for the following academic year are announced beginning April 1.  Students applying for financial aid (submitting the FAFSA) are considered for need-based grants as well federal and state loan. Therefore, all students (even if not yet accepted) are encouraged to submit the FAFSA directly to the federal processor so that it is received by March 1 to be considered for maximum need-based aid.  Students accepted after June 1 will be considered for remaining funds.

Graduate students are reviewed for merit scholarship and graduate work study assignments by a committee of faculty and admission representatives at the time their application for admission is evaluated.  Students must have submitted their application and completed the audition no later than April 1, 2008 to be considered for merit scholarships.
