- Our faculty review panel would like to see how you write. Please share one or two works — scores, and recordings if you have them.
  
  These samples are previous work. They are not the piece SOLI performs: Fellows write a new 5–7 minute work during the program, after selection.
- Scores
  
  Up to two works. Your sample does not need to be written for SOLI's instrumentation.

- Which work should the panel read first?
  Give the title of the one work you would most like us to know you by. If you are sending an excerpt from a longer score, name the movement, page, or rehearsal mark where we should begin.
- Recordings (optional)
  
  If you have recordings of the works above, please include them. A live performance, a rehearsal tape, a reading, or a notation-software playback are all fine — we are listening to the writing, not the production. If you don't have recordings, submit the scores alone; it does not count against you.

- Or link to your work instead (optional)
  A website, YouTube, SoundCloud, Vimeo, Google Drive, or Dropbox link. If your link needs a password, include it here. For audio especially, a link is often easier than uploading.
- Do you wish to apply for scholarship assistance?
- What amount can you contribute toward the $500 tuition?
  Enter a whole-dollar figure. Any amount is acceptable, including $0. Most awards are partial — a contribution of any size helps SOLI extend assistance to more Fellows.
- In a few sentences, describe the circumstances behind your request.
  Tell us briefly what makes the full tuition difficult right now. A few plain sentences is all we need.
- Have you sought or received support for this residency from another source?
  For example: a school or department, an employer, a state or local arts council, or a personal fundraising effort. If not, that's fine — this doesn't affect your request. If you have applied somewhere and are waiting to hear, let us know when you expect a decision.
- What would tuition assistance make possible for you?
- I affirm that the information in this section is accurate and complete, and that the amount I've listed reflects what I can genuinely contribute.
- If selected, I accept the terms and timeline outlined on the application information page. The information presented herein is true and complete to the best of my knowledge.
  
  I understand that any deviations from the schedule outlined may result in my removal from the project.
