Scholarship Application

A limited number of partial tuition scholarships are available each school year to students who demonstrate a strong dedication to music studies but may face financial barriers to private lessons. To apply for a scholarship, please fill out the form below and upload proof of household income. New students must also submit an Application Form and attend a trial lesson in order to be considered.

Scholarship awards vary by student and cover a portion of tuition for up to one school year, based on demonstrated financial need and the student’s level of commitment to music study. Students who receive tuition assistance are required to sign a personalized Scholarship Agreement outlining expectations related to consistent progress and active participation that support the learning environment and culture of the cello studio and the broader Santa Barbara music community through involvement in ensembles, competitions, and performances.
