Scholarships at Belmont University

Annual scholarship for undergraduates admitted to Belmont's Global Honors program, which replaces the BELL Core with an interdisciplinary honors curriculum including a cohort study-abroad semester. The $2,000 award begins in the first year and renews sophomore through senior years while the student remains in good academic standing within Global Honors. Apply to Belmont Global Honors with the main admission application by December 1. Students with a 3.5 or higher GPA are invited to apply; admission is holistic and considers essay, activities, and optional test scores.

Endowed songwriting scholarship for students in Belmont's Songwriting major through the Mike Curb College of Entertainment and Music Business. Recipients are selected annually through a review process by the Curb College in consultation with Belmont Student Financial Services. The fund supports aspiring professional songwriters in Belmont's competitive songwriting program, which requires a portfolio of original songs for admission. Award amounts depend on endowment earnings rather than a published fixed scholarship value.

Endowed songwriting scholarship created in memory of country songwriter Andrew Dorff to assist Belmont students pursuing a career in songwriting.

Recipients are selected from songwriting majors when endowed funds are available through the Curb College and financial aid review process.

The fund was established through a benefit concert to encourage and empower women pursuing careers in the music industry. Recipients are selected by the Curb College when endowed funds are available; published award totals have varied by academic year rather than a fixed catalog amount.
