Private Lesson Scholarship Application

Policy Statement:

The Clark Middle School Band Boosters have a finite budget for the purpose of supplementing the instrumental private lesson program at Clark Middle School. Only current and qualified Clark Middle school band members are eligible. This scholarship is designed to MATCH HALF of the current private lesson price of $23.00. The recipient, of these lessons, is responsible for the OTHER HALF ($11.50) of each weekly lesson. The recipient needs to make their portion of the payment at each weekly lesson.

Criteria For Selection:

(1) Demonstrate a financial hardship which would prevent payment of the full amount.

(2) Demonstrate a willingness to practice for every lesson, making weekly satisfactory progress as deemed by the lesson teacher and the band director.

(3) Demonstrate a willingness to attend ALL private lesson sessions for the semester. Missed lessons will NOT be supplemented (Recipients agree to pay the full price for unexcused absences).

(4) Be in good academic standing (ALL PASSING GRADES. Recipients failing any class will immediately forfeit their scholarship for the semester and must finish and pay for the semester’s remaining lessons at full price.)

The Cougar Band Boosters have authorized the formulation of a scholarship committee to evaluate all applicants for selection. Chaired by the band director, Mr. Katz, this committee will be comprised of selected members of the Clark Middle School Faculty and will NOT include any current band parents. Mr. Katz reserves the right to terminate any scholarship for criteria violations.

As scholarship funds are limited, applications submitted for this scholarship are not in any way guaranteed acceptance.

I, the undersigned, have read and understand the above Scholarship information/Policy Statement and agree to it‘s terms and conditions.
