Community School of the Arts is committed to enrolling students from diverse economic, religious, ethnic, racial, and social backgrounds. As part our commitment to equal access to high-quality arts education, CSA offers financial assistance for families who would otherwise be unable to afford high-quality arts education.

About Financial Aid at Community School of the Arts:

  • Financial Aid is entirely need-based; award decisions are based on a family’s financial need and the school’s ability to support a percentage of that need.

  • Financial aid funds are limited and are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.

  • Families must reapply each fall.

  • Financial Aid awards are applied as a percentage reduction of the total tuition charges, with a limit of one program per student, and do not require repayment.

  • Students receiving financial assistance are not eligible for additional discounts.

  • Financial Aid may be decreased or terminated if a student demonstrates unacceptable progress.

  • Families with an unpaid 2007/2008 balance as of July 31, 2008 will forfeit any financial grant which might be made for the following year, unless payment arrangements are made.

Financial Aid Application Process:
To apply for financial assistance, families must supply:

1) Completed Financial Aid application

2) Recent pay stub

3) Photocopy of last year’s Federal Tax Return OR official letter of proof from coordinating agency for welfare, social security, unemployment, child support, maintenance and/or alimony compensation
Additionally, Community School will consider:
• official documentation of changes or extenuating circumstances that have changed the financial status of the applicant subsequent to filing of tax return
• letters indicating extenuating circumstances not documented elsewhere which may support an applicant’s claim to assistance (i.e. special needs)

Applications will not be considered complete for review until all materials have been supplied.
