Tuition Assistance

Music Education is for Everyone

We believe that everyone, no matter their financial resources, should have access to high quality music education. We offer a variety of opportunities to help everyone sing and play at Upper Valley Music Center.

Tuition Assistance

Tuition assistance is awarded to a student on the basis of need and availability of funds. Students may be awarded tuition assistance for up to one set of individual lessons, one group class, and one ensemble per person per semester. Students of all ages may apply.

Important Details

All information is held in strict confidence. Tuition Assistance and Work Study applications must be completed at the time of registration before the first lesson or class in order to be considered.

The application includes questions about the UVMC program you’re planning to enroll in, the amount of assistance you are requesting, a statement of need, your Adjusted Gross Income and the size of your household. Those applying for assistance for individual lessons are asked to submit a copy of the first two pages of your most recent tax return.

Applications are reviewed on a monthly basis: applications received by the 15th of the month will be reviewed and you will be notified of an award, if any, no later than the 25th of the month. A new application must be submitted for each term.  The remaining balance must be paid in full or by electing a payment plan before classes begin. In order to apply for any of these opportunities, please submit a completed application and attach appropriate tax documents. Applications are available in the UVMC Office or maybe printed using the link below.
