Financial Aid/Scholarships

HNMC’s mission is to provide high quality instruction and performance opportunities for all to nurture a lifelong passion for the arts. We live our mission in part by providing need based aid to families who cannot otherwise afford musical instruction. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Students wanting to start in the beginning of the next Instructional Year (Sept) should turn in their application by June 30th to be considered in the first review.
