    VWA Tuition Assistance (TA)

    Virginia Winds Academy is funded by student tuition, grants, individual donations, concert attendance donations, and fundraising events. Our expenses include staff, music purchases, rehearsal and concert venue rental fees, printing costs, and general organizational expenses. Our goal is to be good stewards of our finances while providing an enriching educational opportunity for our students.

    Tuition Assistance

    VWA is dedicated to expanding access to advanced wind ensemble training by providing need-based tuition assistance. The organization affirms that no qualified student should be denied participation due to financial hardship. Financial concerns should never serve as a barrier to engagement in the VWA program.

    A limited number of tuition-assistance scholarships are available to musicians in need.

    Tuition assistance awards are determined exclusively by documented financial need. Academic, musical, or performance merit is not a factor in scholarship decisions.

    Musicians automatically qualify for 100% tuition assistance if anyone in the student’s family is receiving:

    Reduced or free school lunch program
    Medicaid
    Food stamps
    Food assistance through SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program)
    Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) for cash assistance
    Energy Assistance programs like LIHEAP
    Child Care Assistance
    Housing assistance
    Unemployment payments
    Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
    Recently fired, laid off, or furloughed from their job
    Other assistance programs or
    Does not qualify for any of the above, but cannot afford the tuition

    Submission of an application does not guarantee receipt of financial aid.

    Tuition assistance at Virginia Winds Academy is awarded in a fair and nondiscriminatory manner.

    The Academy does not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, or prior musical experience. Awards are based solely on demonstrated financial need.

    A tuition assistance form will be sent to you. 

    It must be completed and submitted as soon as possible. An application will be required for each family member requesting financial help.

    All applications will be kept strictly confidential.
