No, you only need to apply one time per school year. If you were approved for aid in the fall and want to enroll for winter (for example), simply contact your studio manager via email, phone, or in person to re-enroll. Your financial aid award will remain the same.

We ask that you submit an application first (and receive a decision) before enrolling. If this presents an issue for you, please let us know.

Yes, please. We ask that you submit a new application for the start of each new school year.

If you were not required to file at all, simply add a short explanation to your application. If you have an extension, send us the most recent year that is available (and do let us know if it does or doesn’t represent your current circumstances).

We will send you the contact information for a studio manager and you should reach our to that person directly. It won’t be possible for you to register online.

Yes! Students are approved for September 1 – August 31. In years past, parents and guardians need to submit an extension request for the summer, but we no longer have that requirement.

Our financial aid program is entirely need-based; we consider both income and extenuating circumstances.

In order to be eligible to apply for Youth Financial Aid in 2019-20, students must have attended at least 50% of the class meetings for the series/programs in which they were enrolled during School Year 2018-19. Students applying for camp in 2020 must have averaged 70% attendance for at least one camp during summer 2019. If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know.

Definitely! You can submit the exact same application — just note in the appropriate place that your child was accepted into a company. If he or she plans to audition, but hasn’t yet, you can let us know that as well. We can award aid pending acceptance.
