AWARD POLICIES: Financial aid is applied directly to tuition (per class or lesson). No funds are distributed as cash.  Awards apply only to the approved semester(s) and do not carry over. Adjustments to lesson length or enrollment may result in changes to the award. Awards are reviewed annually and may vary based on funding availability and enrollment. While we aim to make programs accessible, families should expect to contribute a portion of tuition or a certain number of volunteer hours whenever possible. The receipt of financial aid does not guarantee future awards. We recognize that families may face challenges (work schedules, transportation, health, etc.) and encourage open communication so we can support you.
