Scholarship Information
for 2007-2008

The Preucil School of Music is pleased to be able to offer scholarship aid to students in need of financial assistance. Scholarship funds are available for Instrument Lessons or for Preschool.

Scholarships for Instrument Lessons
Although the funds available for scholarship are limited, the School works hard to raise funds to award partial aid to those families and students most in need.

Scholarship aid is given on the basis of the following criteria:
1. Financial need of the family.
2. Student has been with the Preucil School during the previous full year.
3. Recommendation of the student's teacher(s) regarding student's preparation of lessons and eagerness to learn.
4. Active involvement of student and family in Preucil School enrichment activities and volunteer programs.
5. Volunteering at all scholarship fundraisers.

In allocating scholarship aid, the Preucil School of Music is recognizing the devoted efforts of caring parents and offering the services of dedicated faculty. This requires an obligation on the part of the applicant to demonstrate sustained effort in the student's studies if given financial aid. Such efforts would include careful practice periods (length agreed upon with the teacher) at least six days per week, regular attendance at group lessons, and a strong desire to progress.

Scholarship students are required to participate in:
1. Group and/or orchestra for string students who qualify by age and/or ability.
