The ³ûÖÊÓƵ Summer Program is pleased to offer special scholarships to students selected to participate in their state's high school All-State Ensemble. Because each state is different, we recognize only those ensembles organized by the state's Music Educators Association, and only participation at the state level. We do not recognize regional, local or jr. high ensembles.
The All-State scholarship is $50 for Instrumental students and $150 for voice students. Students receiving these honors must indicate them on their registration form. Documentation of these awards must be sent along with the audition submission and summer application.
Documentation will not be returned - copies are fine. Failure to include documentation may cause delay in review of your audition. Documentation may include acceptances/invitation letters, or xeroxed copies of the program with student's name in it.
The ³ûÖÊÓƵ Summer Programs is pleased to award financial assistance to qualified students. Financial aid is awarded for both financial need and talent. Students will not be considered for financial aid until an audition submission and all required documentation has been received and reviewed.
To apply for financial aid, you must fill out the financial aid section on the summer registration form. In addition, you must submit a copy of your family's most recent tax return and include a recommendation letter from someone able to comment on your musical ability and desire to pursue musical studies. Students & parents must apply for financial aid when submitting application. Financial aid applications will not be accepted once an offer of acceptance has been made.
Students will be notified of financial aid awards in the acceptance email. All financial aid offers are final. Make sure all requested information is provided as incomplete details may delay review of auditions. If a student's financial aid award is not sufficient to accept admittance, they have 48 hours to notify us.
