Scholarships
Chamber music and solo performance Scholarships are available. Priority is given to those showing highest merit as demonstrated on the audition tape. Financial need is used only as a secondary consideration. Please be aware that large scholarship requests without accompanying merit may jeopardize your acceptance. Requests for scholarship received after the application is processed or that do not contain the Letter of Request with all of the information listed below cannot be considered. Merit qualified students age 16 and older may also receive or apply for work study jobs amounting to US$600, payment made upon completion of the work. Some jobs available are; stage crew, kitchen helper, office assistant, music store and recreation assistant.
Scholarship students are expected to be leaders in performance and chamber music and role models in discipline. Scholarship students must arrive on time and not depart early, as there may be performance obligations to fulfill.
To be considered for a scholarship, include the Letter of Request with your application. The letter must include your musical accomplishments, reasons for requesting a scholarship, annual household income and amount requesting. IRS forms are not needed. Students that arrive late, depart early or attend for a partial session are NOT eligible for scholarship or work study positions. If the letter is missing any of the above required information the Scholarship request will not be considered.
Please investigate your local community (religious groups, schools, arts or civic organizations, and private donors) for alternate sources of financial aid.
