2025-2026 Tuition Assistance Application Information

Please read this page carefully before continuing to the application.
Thank you for inquiring about the tuition assistance program at Joy of Music. JOMP is dedicated to providing an open and inclusive environment that overcomes boundaries in every way possible. As such, we offer tuition assistance to students of all ages with documented need.

JOMP Tuition Assistance Policies

Families with a household income UNDER the maximum number for their household/family size (shown here) are eligible for tuition assistance for lessons, classes, and ensembles at JOMP.

If you are not eligible based on this chart but are experiencing financial hardships that affect your ability to afford lessons, please contact Anne at anne@jomp.org to set up a time to share this information. This includes families that may wish to add ensembles but cannot commit to the extra tuition cost.

All information shared with JOMP will be kept in strict confidence.
Please fill out this Tuition Assistance Application at the same time as registering for lessons or classes. Your registration form will be kept on file until the completed application is received. Priority scheduling is given to returning students requesting assistance by August 8, 2025. We take our commitment seriously and will add new students until our tuition assistance funds for the year are depleted.

FINANCIAL DOCUMENTATION: The online application requires financial documentation in the form of either a copy of your most recent statement of disability benefits or your most recently filed IRS 1040. JOMP has multiple tiers of awards ranging from 15% to 90%.

Notification of awards will be emailed to you.

DEPOSIT REQUIRED: If tuition assistance is granted, a first monthly payment must be made to secure registration. Tuition is adjusted to include the award and divided into ten monthly payments.

After August 8th, tuition assistance is awarded on a rolling basis until all funds have been expended for the year.

Important Information for All Applicants:

1) Assistance can only be awarded to families who have a zero-balance due before the new school year begins. If you are carrying a balance and are experiencing financial hardship, please contact Anne at anne@jomp.org so we can help ensure continuity in your lessons.

2) Attendance and maintained interest in musical studies is considered when awarding tuition assistance. If a student misses more than 3 lessons, they may be asked to move to a waiting list until attendance improves.
