Optional Payment Plan
Students with financial hardship may choose to pay by installments as follows:
- 1/3 tuition, $40.00 registration fee, and $10.00 processing fee per course, due at the time of fall and spring registration (cash, check, or credit card)
- The remaining two payments, each equaling 1/2 the balance, will be drawn automatically from a valid credit or debit card number, furnished at the original registration, in October and November (fall semester) or March and April (spring semester)
Please note: the optional payment plan is not available for courses with fewer than 10 class meetings.
The party responsible for payment of tuition must come in person to set up the payment plan.
Scholarship Programs
Funds from the Preparatory School Scholarship and Tuition Assistance for Boston Residents programs are available to students who have demonstrated talent, proficiency, and financial need.
All students receiving scholarships are evaluated each year and are expected to maintain a high level of commitment to their studies.
Because of the number of students seeking assistance and the limitation of available funds, there are no full scholarships. Awards are based on the number of classes indicated. Families are required to submit tax documentation with the application. Preparatory School scholarships are awarded during the academic year only; no funds are available for summer lessons.
The application and instructions may be downloaded from the "Forms and Downloads" section of the website.
New students must have teacher and/or ensemble placements before filing the application.
To apply for scholarship, contact the Preparatory School or download the scholarship form from the website.

Tuition Assistance for Boston Residents
This program gives Boston residents with musical aptitude and limited financial resources an opportunity to enroll in the Preparatory School. Children who have shown exceptional ability and are enrolled in the Preparatory Certificate Program will receive primary consideration. Other children may be accepted based upon available openings in a particular instrument and/or course of study. All students receiving tuition assistance are evaluated each semester and are expected to maintain a high level of commitment to their studies. All students are also expected to honor required classroom commitments, including on-time arrival for all scheduled classes, and a developed, sustainable, at-home, structured daily practice regime.
Students who wish to apply for tuition assistance should complete the scholarship application available by calling 617-585-1130.
