Mentored Scholars Program (MSP) Music

Scholarship support for music students in the Mentored Scholars Program. The Mentored Scholars Program serves students with Faculty Mentorship, Leadership Opportunities, and supports such as access to funding for experiential or professional development activities during their time as a Mentored Scholar. The MSP-MUSC serves first-generation college students with faculty mentorship and access to educational funding during their undergraduate journey. All these connections allow our scholars to have that additional academic and community support needed to be successful at KU and beyond. This funding will start Fall 2025.
