Scholarships

The Jazzschool Institute awards unsolicited partial scholarships on occasion to qualified students based on a combination of artistic merit and financial need. Students must maintain an overall GPA of 3.0, and earn a C or higher in all classes, to remain eligible for scholarships. Students receiving a scholarship who earn a non-passing grade of C- or lower in any class are responsible for retaking that course at their own expense in order to remain eligible for the award.

The following scholarships are awarded to Jazzschool Institute students who demonstrate a combination of artistic promise, commitment to excellence, and financial need on an as- available basis:
