Financial Assistance

KSMA offers scholarship and barter opportunities to students in need to ensure that no student is turned away due to their economic circumstances.

Financial assistance for Kanack students is available for lessons, classes, ensembles and camps. Both merit and financial need are considered when deciding awards.

Please read carefully before completing the application.

APPLICATIONS

Applications are accepted continually throughout the year, but awards are determined only three times each year. Financial assistance will be awarded at each of these dates provided funds remain after earlier awards have been given. Awards may be given at other times during the year when special circumstances arise.

DEADLINES

Rolling deadline.

SCHOLARSHIP RENEWALS

Scholarships do not automatically renew from one year to the next. Current recipients of scholarships are required to submit a new application packet.

CONDITIONS OF AWARD

Scholarship awards are normally for partial-tuition. Continuation of the award through the academic year in which it is given is contingent upon the applicant meeting these conditions:

  • All financial obligations not covered by the award must be met.

  • Consistent and punctual attendance.

  • Attendance at a minimum of 2 group classes deemed appropriate by the student’s teacher and the Director.

Scholarship recipients must inform the school of any changes which might seriously affect their eligibility for continuation of financial assistance.

COMPLETION

A full application consists of:

  • A Completed Application Form

  • Copy of your most recent federal income tax return (Form 1040). FAFSA also acceptable.

  • Registration Form

All parts must be received in order to be considered.
