Scholarships

Arts Together is committed to bringing together a diverse student population and to assisting families that may not be able to afford full tuition.

Available funds are determined by the Arts Together Board of Directors and are included in the organization’s annual budget. A Scholarship Committee reviews and makes recommendations for scholarships.

Arts Together provides scholarships to students based on financial need, household size, family income, availability of funds, and school needs.

Scholarship applications are accepted at the beginning of the Fall, Spring and Summer sessions and should accompany your class registration form with your $25 registration fee.  (Scholarship applications for the Preschool program must include the preschool registration fee of $200.)

• Scholarships are awarded as a percentage of tuition. There may be a very limited number of full tuition scholarships available in any given semester.

• Scholarships may be decreased or terminated if a student/family demonstrates a low level of commitment to their classes or is absent an excessive number of times.

• Families with an unpaid tuition balance at the end of any semester will not be eligible for scholarships until the unpaid balance is paid.

• Scholarships are not available for Lunch Bunch (Preschool or Summer Camps)
