| Awards | The full scholarship is applied to tuition, after any federal or state grant funding, to obtain a diploma or degree in Music Performance. The scholarship is valued at up to $80,000. Renewal is automatic as long as the student achieves a grade point average of 3.0 for each semester's work and enrolls full-time. Books, course materials, room and board are not included. Due to funding limitations, only one Gibson Music Scholar may be enrolled at a time. Therefore, a new scholarship is awarded on average every other year.
