Financial Assistance

Since 1928 Curtis has maintained an all-scholarship policy. We provide merit-based, full-tuition scholarships to all undergraduate and graduate, students, regardless of their financial situation. For the 2011-12 school year, the annual value of this scholarship is $36,500 for undergraduate students and $49,500 for graduate students. These scholarships are renewed each year of a student’s enrollment. No financial aid application is required for the full-tuition scholarship. In 2011-12, there were 17 Federal Pell Grant recipients. There were 119 students who received some type of financial assistance, including grants, loans and student employment opportunities.

Students who demonstrates financial need will be awarded adequate assistance to attend the Curtis Institute of Music. No student will have to leave Curtis solely because of financial need. Financial assistance for living expenses is based solely on need.

Before turning to Curtis for supplemental assistance, students are expected to utilize funds from non-Curtis sources, including grants, loans, and scholarships available through private, public, and other sources.
