NEED-BASED SCHOLARSHIPS
In 1986, the Advisory Board of The Athens Community Music School established a Need Based Scholarship Fund through the Ohio University Foundation, the University’s institutionally-related, nonprofit, tax exempt, 501 (c) (3) organization. Since then, members of the Advisory Board work annually to raise money that supports music lessons at the Athens Community Music School for financially disadvantaged families in Southeast Ohio.
All information is strictly confidential. Scholarships are awarded based on money available, number of applicants, and applicant need. We endeavor to award as much as possible within these criteria. All students are eligible to apply. Scholarship awards are deducted from the total tuition charges. In 2006-2007, over $5000 was awarded.
A revised version of the Need-Based Scholarship Application is now available. Please note that the revision requires that families provide documented proof of annual family income (e.g., inclusion of the previous year's 1040 Tax Form or other proof if you do not file taxes).
