Additional Information
Fisk Rewards Academic Merit
Fisk University offers merit-based scholarships to help academically talented students cover the cost of their education as University resources permit. In addition to a competitive academic record, students interested in merit-based awards should also present a record of demonstrated leadership and community service.
As a Music major, I have been afforded many opportunities to perform both on stages around campus and so many off-campus. Being away from home can challenging but, I can truly say, the administration and professors were gracious and kind in helping me to navigate these obstacles.
