Scholarships Application Steps:

Scholarships Application Deadline:

Financial Aid and Scholarship applications will open January 10, 2025 and must be submitted on or before March 15, 2025. We will receive your submission form immediately upon submission. However, if you do not receive a confirmation email, please contact us.

This assistance is available for students who truly could not attend without it, therefore financial need is the top priority in awarding financial assistance.

Please note: Any student or teacher awarded a scholarship will be required to help with institute week. For example, you may end up sitting at the scholarship table, helping with t-shirts, or helping with any other need that we have. Therefore, please do not apply if you cannot complete shifts during institute week. Additionally, No full scholarships are awarded so you will be expected to supply the balance of tuition.

1) Please complete the scholarship form below including audition URL. Most importantly, be sure to please paste a link to your audition in the form below (youtube, google drive, etc.). There are no specific piece requirements, therefore students may submit a polished piece of their choosing.
