Tuition Assistance

Applying is simple.

Priority for tuition assistance in Fall 2024 is given to continuing students in good standing who apply by August 19, 2024. After the deadline, new and continuing students will be placed based on financial need and funds availability.

Financial need is the primary consideration in determining awards. The Tuition Assistance Committee also considers temporary unemployment, emergencies, and illnesses when making award decisions.

Total music training costs may also be considered for tuition assistance awards. For example, if you are a JOMP student paying full tuition for lessons but deterred from adding an ensemble due to cost, please contact Caroline (caroline@jomp.org) to discuss how you might participate.

All student financial information is confidential. Continuation of assistance depends on evidence of a student’s musical commitment, regular attendance and progress.

Continuing Tuition Assistance Applicants: If you are a current recipient wanting to continue your assistance into Fall 2024, the priority deadline for applications is August 19, 2024. After that date, continuing tuition assistance applications will be considered on a first-come, first-served request basis.

New Tuition Assistance Applicants: New applicants are encouraged to apply. Tuition assistance awards will be made as long as funding is available. If funding is not available, new applicants will be placed on a waiting list. For beginners, JOMP may recommend joining a low cost instrumental class before private lesson placements.
