UNT Opera awarded over $65,000 in opera scholarships for both the 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 academic years. 

Margot Winspear opera scholarship
The Margot Winspear opera scholarship ($15,000) was established in 2002 by our cherished philanthropist, the late Bill Winspear, in honor of his wife, Margot. It is awarded to a returning voice student, and is designed to encourage aspiring opera singers. Beginning in 2009, the award process was expanded to include public auditions and the input of a guest judge.

Other opera scholarships are awarded to new and returning voice students as well as to string students who play in opera productions. A scholarship of  $1,000 or more allows for in-state tuition.
