Financial Aid is entirely need-based.  Award decisions are based solely on demonstrated
financial need and the School’s ability to support a percentage of that need.

 Community School of the Arts provides need-based financial assistance to students
based on the availability of funds. Funding varies by semester, and students must re-apply
for financial assistance each summer.

Financial Aid Application Deadline:
       Summer 2010    
All camp and summer lesson students:         May 10, 2010
       Fall 2010            Private music and group class students:        July 5, 2010
 
  • Financial aid funds are limited and are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
  • Families must reapply each summer.
  • Financial Aid awards are applied as a percentage reduction of the total tuition charges,                                              with a limit of one program per student.  Awards do not require future repayment.
  • Students receiving financial assistance are not eligible for multi-student discounts.
  • Financial Aid may be decreased or terminated if a student demonstrates unacceptable                                              commitment to their lessons or classes.
  • Families with an unpaid balance at the end of any semester automatically forfeit any financial aid for the following semester.
Financial Aid Application Process:
To apply for financial assistance, families must supply:

1) Completed Financial Aid application.


2) Most 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 of the Arts 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.
