FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Financial Assistance Program Overview

Through OCMD’s financial assistance endowment, built by the generous support of our donors, we offer financial assistance for students participating in the School of Music private lesson program.

Assistance is awarded for a percentage of the lesson tuition for the 2025-2026 academic year (September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026). If funds are no longer available for the current year, successful applicants will be added to the financial assistance waitlist.
