  • Families must resubmit their financial aid documents annually. Student Services will keep your financial aid on file for one full calendar year. As financial aid is a limited resource, submitting your documents does not guarantee your student will receive financial aid. Students must provide the registration fee or deposit for private lessons in order to be considered for financial aid.
