Financial Aid Information and Instructions 2009-2010

Arts In Motion is a nonprofit community school. Scholarships funds are available through the generous donations of individuals. Arts In Motion makes partial financial assistance available to students who can show documented financial need. We make an effort to honor every request, but funds are limited. We make financial determination based on the amount of funds available, the number of requests received, and the factors listed below. In addition, recipients of financial aid are required to volunteer and assist with our scholarship fundraising. Decisions for awards are made by Arts In Motion Executive Director and are final. You must be pre-approved for financial aid before starting your class or lessons. Awards are not renewable and you must reapply at the beginning of each semester of the program year (September – August) by submitting your current financial information with your registration form (PDF).
