Financial Need rebates are automatically granted to students with demonstrated financial needs as determined by the Office of Student Financial Services (SFS). All need-based awards require verification of aid status by SFS. Please note that financial assistance is only available for undergraduate students. Graduate students in departments other than Music are not eligible for rebates.
Students with exceptional need may petition Ben Worley for full coverage of private lessons. Petitions will not be accepted after the “No refunds given” deadline (See Refund Policies below). Students must re-petition at the beginning of each academic year.
Refund Policies
A student who officially withdraws within the refund period will receive a refund in accordance with the refund schedule (see refund grid below). All refunds are calculated from the date on which the student drops the course on WebSTAC. If you drop applied music lessons, you will forfeit any rebate or scholarship amounts that you were due to receive. Should you choose to drop during the refund timeframe, your student account will receive a MUSI charge for the percentage of the lesson fee based on your drop date.
