Tuition Assistance: NEMPAC offers tuition assistance for lessons and classes. Students who require tuition assistance must fill out our online form and submit required documents. Applications are reviewed by an anonymous committee, and decisions will be sent to applicants via email. In order to ensure that students participating in the Tuition Assistance program have access to programming, NEMPAC opens applications in advance of general registration. Additionally, spots are reserved in classes and summer workshops for students receiving aid. The number of spots are determined before each session and dependent on class size. For summer programs, if not used, reserved spots will be released to wait list students at a predetermined date, typically a month before programming starts. For Summer 2024, this will be March 8th. 

Tuition Assistance Applications are due March 1st. 

Summer Waitlist Policy: Should a spot in a class or workshop open up, you will receive communication about the available spot via email. You are given 48 business day hours to respond. If you wish to take an open spot and enroll, full payment is due within 48 hours of acceptance. Otherwise, your spot will be opened to the next person on the waitlist. If you are not able to make full payment but still wish to enroll, we will work with you directly on a payment plan option. Due to the popularity of our week-long summer workshops, getting off the waitlist will not be solely based on first come, first serve. We will first prioritize students that were not able to get into any other weekly programs.

Summer Withdrawal Policy:

If you choose to withdraw from your workshop:

  • Prior to the Registration and Payment Deadline (May 1), tuition will be fully refunded or credited for one year, however a $30 Cancelation Fee will apply. 
  • After the Registration and Payment Deadline, no refunds or credits will be issued
