Supporting Excellence and Empowering Tomorrow's Musicians at Ball State University

The School of Music at Ball State University is dedicated to providing innovative, high-quality undergraduate and graduate education in music, both in a liberal arts and professionally authentic context. The student-centered nature of our School enables and encourages students to transform knowledge into action, achieve exceptional artistic goals with courage and integrity, engage with others in impactful ways, and share the joy and appreciation of music with the University community, our city, state, nation, and the world. 

Opportunities for Support - click the red links below to give today! For this year, if we reach 150 donations the School of Music will receive a $500 match from Director Dr. Franklin Larey.

Please donate to the Ball State University Singers fund on One Ball State Day! Proceeds raised for University Singers on One Ball State Day will be used to help University Singers fund future travel in an effort to honor the life and legacy of our dearly departed alum, Jan Richard, who passed away in November of 2024. She was a member of the original ensemble of University Singers and was an avid supporter of the group for its sixty-year existence. She also loved to travel with the group. University Singers would like to encourage alumni and supporters to give on this OBSD to the University Singers to honor Jan's legacy and to help future casts travel and share their music of Faith, Hope, Laughter, and Love as Indiana's Official Goodwill Ambassadors. 

General Fund supports all academic programs within the School of Music. A gift to this fund will support things like, but not limited to, enhancing our outstanding programs in Music Education, Music Media Production, Music Performance, Music Composition, and all areas of graduate study. Donations help provide curricular resources, sponsor guest lecture series, and fund other initiatives that enrich students' learning experiences.

A gift to the Bravo! Scholarship Fund will help the School attract and retain an exceptional and diverse pool of student musicians and empower them to pursue their passion. 

The Endowment Funds for our Bands, Orchestras, Choirs, Jazz Ensembles, and Opera support the artistry and excellence that are the hallmarks of our ensembles. Proud alumni may also support the Pride of Mid-America Marching Band. 

The Rebecca Reichert Scholarship in Music Education supports our music education program and students by providing recipients with a scholarship award for the senior year of study.

Finally, a gift to the Prism Project will allow the School, and all of its University and community partners, to continue to provide community, arts-based instruction for students with special needs or exceptionalities.
