Eric Ruple Scholarship Fund in the School of Music Piano Program

An annual scholarship established by Emily B. and William Branscome.

To be named a Ruple Scholar, recipients must be incoming freshmen or transfer student(s) who are to be enrolled in the School of Music Piano Program. The scholarship is renewable for up to three additional years as long the student(s) continue to be enrolled in the program. If one or more of the students do not fulfill requirements or change majors, any remaining funds may be used by the School of Music for one time recruitment awards until the funds are completely utilized. Scholarship funds will be awarded at the discretion of the Director of the School of Music and follow the University’s guidelines for the awarding of scholarships.
