Can I get a scholarship?
The first step toward getting aid is to apply for admission and be accepted to the festival by auditioning in person, mailing us a recording, or by recommendation from an HPAF faculty member. After that, to apply for financial aid, contact genette.freeman@msn.com. The festival's limited scholarship funds are awarded based on three criteria:
--Merit
--Financial need
--Needs of the festival
Students who need help attending the festival are encouraged to first try community and family sources for assistance. Students receiving financial aid may be required to participate in work-study programs.
Why should I spend this on a summer program?
Our fee covers all instruction, room and board, recreational activies, and admission to all concerts. Our daily rate represents an excellent value considering Hawaii is one of the most popular tropical vacation destinations in the world. Hotel rooms costing less than $200 per night are rare. Young artists receive complete room and board, unforgettable touring and recreation, plus top quality musical instruction and performance opportunities for less than $150 per day.
HPAF provides superior instruction with an accomplished faculty of renowned professional artists and teachers from top music schools around the world. Students attending the festival will encounter many gifted peers who will inspire them to their best performances. Many will form lifelong friendships and lasting networks. Most students will progress to the next level musically and vocally.
How can I cut costs?
Share car rental costs. Ask for help from school, sponsors, family, community groups and your place of employment. Ask your teacher (or faculty member from HPAF) about scholarship competitions in your area. Perform a fundraising concert. Explore your options with frequent flier miles. Start saving now. A summer at the Hawaii Performing Arts Festival makes a wonderful gift!
"Wonderful faculty...great program. I came home inspired to be a better musician." - Stephanie Martinez, Student
