Eligibility
Students may be eligible for an additional subsidy for one group class and one private lesson, or two group classes, dependent on:
- Financial situation (household income)
- Regular attendance
- Consistent effort
Subsidized students who have been enrolled in more than 2 classes before September 2017 may continue their classes at the new subsidy rates.
Additional Subsidy Rates
Subsidies start at $1 off the regular fee per class and go down in $1 increments. As of September 2017 the minimum rate for our most subsidized families is $3 per class/lesson. This also applies to families that have been paying less in the past. However, a full subsidy (100% of fees) may be offered to individual students that are outstanding in terms of talent and effort.
When to submit
To be considered for subsidy a copy of the most recent tax return that shows family income should be submitted to the Administrator at info@springboardtomusic.ca or be left with one of the Volunteers at the desk to be forwarded to the Directors’ Committee. Subsidy requests will be reviewed throughout the season but may take up to 8 weeks before a decision will be made and subsidized rates start to apply. Each family should resubmit their last year’s tax return before September 15 to be re-considered for subsidy.
