- The School of Music & Theater application is submitted through Acceptd, our application portal. You'll need to create an account and pay the $20 fee to complete the process. Audition videos can be uploaded directly into your application and will be reviewed by the appropriate area coordinator to be considered for scholarships.
- Both freshmen and transfer students can apply to Portland State to be considered for music scholarships. A non-refundable $52 application fee is required. Some students may be eligible for fee deferral as an undergraduate.
