FINANCIAL AID

Financial aid applications are accepted on a rolling basis, but we are unable to award financial aid until the financial aid application is complete. Incomplete applications will delay your financial aid award and prevent you from registering.

For more information on SCC financial aid, please send an email to: sbagheri@strathmore.org.

WITHDRAWAL AND REFUND POLICY

A pro-rated refund may be considered for students who must withdraw before or during the first week of rehearsals (September 12, 2022). SCC will consider prorated refunds in the event of formal withdrawal, and a $100 charge is assessed upon that withdrawal.

In the event of withdrawal or dismissal after the above dates, no refunds will be issued, and families remain obligated to pay the full tuition and fees.
