With offers from universities in Saskatchewan, Quebec, and the United States, it was a combination of scholarships, school size, and reputation that ultimately led her to Brandon University.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I had a really good lesson with the trumpet teacher and then after I auditioned, they [Brandon University&#8217;s <a href=\"\/scholarships\/scholarships\/music\/\">School of Music<\/a>] sent me a letter the next day after my audition offering me scholarships and letting me know they wanted me and had accepted me,&#8221; explained Taryn. Indeed, the promising young trumpet player earned four music-related scholarships from that audition. Her strong academic marks from grades 11 and 12 also earned her two additional Board of Governors scholarships exclusive to students entering BU from high school. &#8220;I don&#8217;t have to take on a part-time job,&#8221; she explained about the benefits of her awards. &#8220;I can focus on my studies and that&#8217;s 100% of my focus.&#8221; Taryn has now received a total of nine scholarships since beginning at BU in 2011.<\/p>\n<p>As an added bonus, Taryn was able to use some of the funds made available to her to participate in the world-class Le Domaine Forget summer music program in Saint-Ir\u00e9n\u00e9e, Quebec. \u201cYou have two masters on your instrument come in\u2026and you do a daily master class with them,\u201d she explained. \u201cIt was the most beautiful location ever and you could meet trumpet players from across Canada, across the U.S., some from Europe \u2013 it was great!\u201d Taryn noted that without the support of scholarships, she may not have chosen to participate in a program that enhanced her education experience.<\/p>\n<p>When asked what advice she would give to students thinking about Brandon University, Taryn didn\u2019t hesitate. \u201cThe application is so easy\u2026apply for entrance scholarships, definitely!\u201d As a student living in residence, she likens campus life to a close-knit community. \u201cIt\u2019s always good \u2013 it does give you access and more chances to interact with people from other degrees and find out what you\u2019re doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for how she feels about receiving so much financial support? \u201cHUGE thank-you\u2019s [to the donors],\u201d she said. \u201cI don\u2019t know if they know how much stress they relieve from students who get scholarships, how much easier that makes studying and how much more success can come because of those scholarships!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>For more information on scholarships, bursaries, and awards, students can contact <a href=\"&#109;&#x61;i&#x6c;&#x74;&#111;&#x3a;s&#99;&#x68;&#111;&#x6c;a&#114;&#x73;h&#x69;p&#115;&#x40;b&#x72;&#x61;&#110;&#x64;o&#110;&#x75;&#46;&#x63;a\">&#115;c&#x68;o&#x6c;a&#x72;s&#x68;i&#x70;s&#x40;&#98;&#x72;&#97;&#x6e;&#100;&#x6f;&#110;&#x75;&#46;&#x63;&#97;<\/a>, or call 204-727-9737.
