Tuition Assistance

Waltons New School of Music’s Tuition Assistance programme is designed to help defray the cost of tuition with the New School. Although there are a limited number of Tuition Assistance awards each year, every effort will be made to assist students (or their parents) who, because of financial circumstances, would otherwise be unable to study with us. Tuition Assistance awards are in the form of discounts of between 10% and 40% off the student’s fees and depend on the both student’s and the New School’s financial circumstances, as well as the type of tuition. See our Tuition Assistance Policy for more information.

In order to be considered for tuition assistance, please complete and return this application form, along with copies of the required documents listed below, and submit it at least two weeks (and preferably longer) before the intended tuition start date. If you have / your child has previously studied music either with the New School or elsewhere, please include a reference letter from the music teacher as well. Providing information in this application does not enrol you or your child in Waltons New School of Music, and a separate enrolment form must also be submitted as soon as possible after you are approved for tuition assistance. All of our enrolment forms can be accessed from the Enrolment • Fees Menu.

All information included in this application, as well as all supporting materials, will be kept strictly confidential.
