Scholarship opportunities for talented African- and Hispanic-American string performers at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey

The Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers, The State University of NewJersey, has taken bold steps to create an environment in which aspiring minority musicians can thrive. The school offers a faculty of distinguished artists, including several notable African-American musicians who can provide personal and professional support to rising young artists. Mason Gross provides a rigorous academic program, performance opportunities, and a diverse student body. To supplement and enhance these assets, Mason Gross is proud to offer the Paul Trilling Scholarship, which will annually underwrite the tuition and fees of promising African- or Hispanic-American performance students pursuing the study of stringed instruments. This scholarship, which was established by Paul Trilling, is designed to promote the artistic development of talented young African- or Hispanic-Americans and to ensure that they have the opportunity to succeed in a field of music.

The Trilling Scholarship clearly enhances Rutgers' role as a pioneer in the training and development of minority classical musicians, adding significantly to the opportunities available through the Ralph Bunche Fellowship as well as non-targeted scholarship programs. The Department of Music has a faculty of 50 full-time and 40 part-time members. There are approximately 400 students enrolled in its 7degree programs: Bachelor of Music, Bachelor of Arts, Master of Music, Master of Arts, Artist Diploma, Doctor of Philosophy, and Doctor of Musical Arts. The Department is a full member of NASM.
