Tuition and Payment

Tuition and payment

Policy: Payment for all Jacobs Academy programs, academic year and summer, is due prior to the start date of the program. Students will not be permitted to participate in classes or lessons until payment has been remitted. Strict merit scholarship, financial aid, and payment deadlines will be observed.

Participants with an outstanding balance, or delinquent account, are not eligible for program enrollment until payment has been addressed. If you have any questions regarding your eligibility, please contact musicsp@iu.edu.

Late registrations may be accepted pending program space availability. Please contact the program director for necessary course authorization. Payment must be remitted prior to engaging in program activities.

Financial aid

Merit based scholarships

Merit scholarship is awarded on the basis of artistic talent or proficiency. It is important to recognize that not all programs offer merit scholarships, and those that do have their own criteria for eligibility. Interested participants or families should begin inquiring with the program director or coordinator well in advance of the program start date to allow for necessary processing. Programs that offer merit scholarships include Ballet Classes, Creative Ballet, IU Children’s Choir, String Academy, and Young Pianists.

Need-based financial aid

Financial assistance is determined based on need. To be eligible for assistance, the family requesting must meet the criteria as established by the Monroe County Community School Corporation (MCCSC) Eligibility Guidelines. Please check the program page to determine relevant deadlines; there’s no guarantee the entire tuition amount will be awarded, and late applications will not be accepted. To request a financial aid application, contact the Office of Jacobs Academy at musicsp@iu.edu.
