Making the Arts Accessible
The Cape Symphony is committed to making the arts accessible to as many students as possible within the community. Each year, as funds are available, we award financial aid to students with the greatest demonstrated need. Awards are based on a sliding scale reflecting the total household income and the number of members in the household. Awards generally range between 10% and 75% of the total tuition. The Cape Symphony seeks to award financial assistance to those whose needs are greatest and does not discriminate in matters of race, color, sexual orientation, national or ethnic origin. The Committee reserves the right to ask for additional support information.
Application Deadline
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis throughout the year. Applications received by the deadlines below are likely to receive a response before the semester begins. Awards are subject to the availability of funds, so early applications are encouraged.
Fall Semester/Academic Year: August 2
Spring Semester: January 2
Summer Session: May 2, if funds are available.
