05.07 Eligibility for Graduate Scholarships and Stipends

A graduate student with an assistantship is not required by the School to enroll as a full-time student, though the student must make satisfactory academic progress toward degree completion during the period in which s/he holds a Scholarship and Stipend, as discussed in section 5.06 above. To maintain eligibility for Graduate Scholarships and Stipends, students must also adhere to the Academic Integrity Policy, earn a grade of B- or higher in any lessons on their primary instrument, pass any required performance juries, and carry out their assigned service to the school.

Assuming satisfactory academic progress and satisfactory discharge of the duties of their assistantship, a student will be given favorable consideration for continuation of the Award during the subsequent year on the basis of the following:

  1. A maximum of four semesters of support during work on a master’s, or a maximum of six semesters of support while pursuing a doctoral degree.
  1. A maximum of ten semesters of support during graduate study at the Eastman School of Music for students who pursue the master’s degree and continue in the doctoral program.
