Luther College awards $3,000 to $7,000 a year on musical talent, regardless of the student's major.
Its international standing rests on an absence rather than a statement, and the absence is telling: the college's sibling Herseth award, which covers full tuition, explicitly restricts auditions to students in the United States, while this one carries no such limit. That contrast is the evidence.
Only the highest single talent award is paid, and talent and academic awards together are capped at $50,000 a year.
