Tuition
The tuition cost for the Advanced Preparatory Piano Program is extremely competitive and includes full access to all organized events through the Frost Preparatory Program, studio classes’ receptions, masterclasses, community service performances, and a formal recital in Clarke Recital Hall. The tuition cost for the Academic Year 2019-2020 is $3,000. The tuition is non-refundable.
Payment
It is available a deferred payment plan for tuition, which gives the option to pay for the full amount in three monthly installments. Further information will be sent upon acceptance.
Withdrawals and Refunds
Withdrawals are normally not permitted. However, exceptions are accepted only for serious and proved reasons. If the withdrawal occurs after the tuition payment, the Preparatory Program will retain 20 percent of the full amount for each week up to and including the fourth week. There will be no refunds for withdrawals after the fourth week. The date of withdrawal will be the date on which the Preparatory Program Administration is notified in writing. There will be no refunds for withdrawals of students who have been awarded scholarships/financial aid.
Financial Aid
A limited number of tuition reduction benefits and scholarships will be awarded to students according to their financial need and merit. The amount and number vary each year based on the financial availability of the Frost Preparatory Program. Applicants who have indicated their wish to apply for financial aid on the Application for Admission will be invited to fill out an online financial aid application after the audition results are posted on May 12, 2019. All applications are reviewed carefully and impartially. Students receiving financial aid are expected to maintain a high standard of performance.
