Financial Aid
Fellowship Study Program

Intention: The program is designed to give SJSA full-year student's reasonable projects to be completed in exchange for credits toward their study. All students at least 11 years old or their parents may apply for the fellowship study program. The projects include office responsibilities, teaching assistantship, heading up extra-curricular school related projects and instrumental maintenance. Awards are based on students showing responsibility and interest toward the arts school. This includes reviewing the student's past dedication, previous attendance records, teacher evaluations, respect for fellow peers, and a strong focused leadership. Students will be reevaluated on their commitment and progress in their area of study at mid-year. Registration fees and any supplemental class fees are not included. Students who are given a fellowship-study must adhere to guidelines and responsibilities during the year to continue in this program.

Adopt The Future!

SJSA has established Adopt The Future! a sponsorship program that allows individuals, groups and/or businesses to become a parent(s) to aspiring students in the arts, enabling the financial support and encouragement needed. Personalized updates and student performance invitations will be given periodically to the sponsors so that the "adoptive parent(s)" will see first hand how their donations are benefiting the children of St. John School of the Arts.
