General financial aid is based solely on the parents’ and/or student’s ability to pay. The amount of assistance awarded is dependant on the family circumstances as well as NEMC’s space available in the instrument/voice, age, and gender categories. We ask that you carefully consider the value of this experience for your child and ask only for what you truly need.

Families are encouraged to explore additional supplemental funding and grant sources available through local arts and service organizations, foundations, banks, and employers.
