Financial Aid
Arts plus financial aid.
Our financial aid program is designed to make sure everyone in the community has access to outstanding arts education, no matter their financial circumstance. Arts+ awards nearly $100,000 of financial aid annually to students.
Financial aid is provided to students each year based on need and the availability of funds. Arts+ uses a sliding scale similar to the one schools use to determine eligibility for free/reduced school lunches. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year, but the initial review of applications for summer programs and the upcoming school year is completed each spring.
How to Apply
Financial aid applications for the full 2024-2025 school year are due on April 15, 2024. Please download and complete the application form linked below and submit it along with the following:
- A photocopy of last year’s Federal Tax Return OR (if appropriate) official letters of proof from any agencies providing welfare, social security, unemployment, child support, or alimony benefits
- The most recent pay stubs for any working parents
Arts+ will also consider official documentation of changes or extenuating circumstances that have changed the financial status of the applicant subsequent to the filing of a tax return and/or parent letters explaining special circumstances not documented elsewhere which may support an applicant’s claim to assistance (i.e. special needs).
Please send completed applications to:
