We are pleased to offer two studentships to conduct PhD research in music within the department. The successful applicants will each have a good first degree and a Masters’ degree with an appropriate specialisation, within the field of music (details of departmental specialisms can be found on the departmental website). They will have a strong interest in academic research, will have good organisational and IT skills, and will be able to work both independently and in a team. They will first register for PhD within the department during the academic year 2110/12, researching an approved topic.

One studentship is full-time fees only. The second studentship is part-time fees only. The holder will not be expected to contribute to the department’s teaching, although there may be a possibility of undertaking some teaching.These studentships are available from September 2011. You may apply for both, but must state clearly for which you are applying, and why. You may not hold more than one. Studentships will cover Home/EU fees only, although non-EU applicants are welcome (in which case the studentship will be put towards the fee).

Public Performance Scholarships 2011, USA: Music, Art and Design, Theatre and Dance, Broadcasting, Digital Media and Animation, Storytelling, Bluegrass, Old Time, and Country Music, Gospel Choir

The Public Performance Scholarship is a special opportunity for non-Tennessee students with interests in the arts and arts related fields. ETSU is committed to providing excellent training and experiences for students in the arts and for students with interest in continued opportunities to pursue creative endeavors. The scholarship provides students with the complete cost of out-of-state tuition, so recipients pay the same rate as Tennessee residents. Students who are participating in another program which covers out-of-state tuition (including but not limited to Academic Common Market, border waiver, Honors-in-Discipline) are not eligible.  Students must be new to ETSU to qualify for the scholarship; already enrolled students are not qualified. Both undergraduate and graduate students may apply for the scholarship unless otherwise noted.
Students awarded a Public Performance Scholarship are not always required to major in an arts discipline, but instead are asked to become active participants in our ETSU and regional arts community. For example, a student must commit to participating in a band, music ensemble, choir, theatrical performance, art exhibition, radio or television broadcast, or other creative activity each semester. Appropriate activities are sponsored by the Department of Art and Design; the Department of Music; the Division of Theatre and Dance; the Division of Broadcasting; the Digital Media program; the program in Bluegrass, Old Time, and Country Music; the Storytelling program; and the Gospel Choir.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 15 February 2011
