Scholarships

Here at Impact School of the Arts, it is important to us that no student or family is turned away because of financial hardships. If you are able to afford classes, please refrain from applying your student to these programs so that we can reserve them for those who are truly in need. For those of you who are in need, whether it’s just for a semester, or for all of your years with us, please do not hesitate to apply. We seek to bring all people into our programs so that they can grow in the arts through faith and in faith through the arts! While we do not promise that your financial request will be met, we work very hard to assist each family in some way. 

Families who apply in September and are granted a scholarship receive it for that school year and must apply again the following year.

Remember that not all Scholarship applications will be accepted because there are only so many opportunities available. We will serve those who have the greatest needs and do our best to accommodate as many people as possible.

Apprenticeships

We care deeply about discipleship here at Impact School of the Arts. Our Instructors will use this opportunity in arts classes to train and mentor apprentices in what it means to be a leader, a teacher, and to be fearless in their faith. Therefore, we will approve apprenticeship applications before scholarship applications. If you want to apply for a scholarship, please strongly consider applying for an apprenticeship first. You may apply for more than one apprenticeship and scholarship.

Upper Level or Second(+) year students are able to apply for an apprenticeship position. Apprenticeships are about assisting the instructor during class, demonstrating for the instructor when asked, and leading by example. For this reason, student apprentices will be older than the students in the classes they are assigned. There will be no student apprenticeships for the Level 3 classes. College-age students will have the opportunity to volunteer in this position. 

For each hour long class a student will apprentice, they will receive one hour long class free. For each half hour long class they apprentice, they receive either a half hour class free, or half off an hour long class tuition. Please check which option is necessary for your student’s involvement. For example, if your student cannot participate unless they receive an hour long class apprenticeship - ONLY check ‘Hour long class apprenticeship’. But if any sort of help would be beneficial, though an hour long apprenticeship is not necessary, feel free to check them all. 

Remember that not all Apprenticeship applications will be accepted because there are only so many opportunities available. If more financial assistance is needed, please also apply for the scholarship opportunities below.

If you receive a scholarship, it will not be combined with any other discounts.

Scholarships cover classes only, they do not cover the other costs which may include but are not limited to costumes, tickets, photos, attire, etc. We host a fall fundraiser and spring fundraiser to help all families cover these additional expenses.
