We offer two forms of financial assistance: a payment plan option and award grants.

 

Payment Plan

Our payment plan option is open to any family who wishes to divide the cost of tuition into three or fewer payments. You do not need to apply for this option.

 

Here's how it works: upon registration, include 1/3 the cost of tuition with your registration materials and simply make the other two payments prior to the start of camp. Call Education Manager, Nyree Martinez (253.591.5202) with questions or to make other arrangements. Please note: campers will not be able to attend class if there is an outstanding balance on tuition. Please indicate your intention to make payments on the Payment Information section of your registration form.

 

Award Grants

The Broadway Center Conservatory is pleased to be able to offer financial aid for its 2008 - 2009 programs. Scholarships will be granted to students wishing to attend classes who demonstrate both a financial need and a desire to participate.

 

Financial aid will be disbursed on a sliding scale, up to 70% of the total cost of tuition. Awards will be granted after a panel review of each application. Applications are reviewed in the order received based on funds available.

To be considered for an award, applicants must submit:

1. A completed Class Registration form.
