A substantial subsidy is built into Stringendo School For Strings tuition in an effort to keep costs minimal while maintaining the highest quality program. Therefore, a very limited amount of financial assistance is available for study at Stringendo School For Strings. Please investigate your local community (churches, schools, and arts organizations) as sources of financial aid. Scholarships are only available to full-time, on-campus students. Those interested in seeking scholarship assistance should include with their application materials, a letter addressed to the Stringendo School For Strings Financial Aid Committee, outlining the request and the need upon which it is based.
