Conservatory Scholarship Application Summer Programs 2026

Please note that the deadline for submissions is March 31. Applications after this date will be considered on a rolling basis if there are funds available.  

Certain summer programs sell out on the day they go on sale. In order to secure your spot in a program, we do recommend that you pay the deposit for the program first. A scholarship application does not guarantee or register you for a spot in a program. Some programs may sell out before scholarships requests are processed. 

The form and supporting documentation must be complete in order to successfully submit the application. A separate application must be submitted for each student applying for a scholarship. 

You will be required to create a Submittable account which will allow you to save your form as a draft, upload documents and check the status of your application.      

If a scholarship is granted, regardless of the amount, the student will be expected to: 

1. Submit at least five (5) hand written thank you notes before the end of the program for donors who make conservatory scholarships possible. Notes should be unsealed and addressed, "Dear Donor." Notes can be turned in at the Conservatory front desk. 
2. Maintain regular attendance to and demonstrate satisfactory progress in (as determined by their instructor in consultation with the conservatory vice president) the programs they are enrolled in. If other activities might preclude regular attendance, please discuss this with the conservatory administration in advance. If a student drops out for reasons other than health or extenuating circumstances, families will be asked to pay back the amount awarded. This requirement allows us to assure that families and individuals accepting financial support are making their participation at the conservatory a priority.

Any special circumstances that will result in non-compliance with the above should be brought to conservatory administration's attention as soon as they occur.
