Scholarships
Strings by the Sea, August 1-5,
2011
Strings by the Sea is committed to welcoming and including
all students, regardless of family income. In order to be able to
continue this policy, we must ask that only those families who are experiencing
true financial distress apply for our very limited number of Partial Tuition
Work Scholarships or our extremely limited number of Special Circumstances
Full Tuition Work Scholarships. Due to the expenses associated with
holding a music camp, we depend on full tuition payments from all those
who are able to do so. Partial and Full Tuition Work Scholarships
are strictly reserved for those families who, without these options, simply
would have no means to send their children to Strings by the Sea. We
thank you for your help in making sure that no child is left out because
of lack of funds. If you have any questions or need further clarification,
please do not hesitate to call Karla Holland-Moritz at (858) 277-7543
or Glen Campbell at (619) 287-9826.
All families who wish to apply for a Work Scholarship (Partial
Tuition or Special Circumstances Full Tuition) MUST follow the steps
below. (Viola Scholarship applicants do not fill out this form,
but follow the instructions for Viola Scholarship applicants).

Partial Tuition Work Scholarship
A very limited number of need-based partial tuition work
scholarships, covering up to a maximum of 50% of the
camp tuition, are available
through Strings by the Sea for those students who would
not be able to attend Strings
by the Sea without assistance. The Partial Tuition Work Scholarship
is able to reduce the full tuition cost to up to 50%, though if families
are able to pay more than 50% of the tuition (perhaps by paying the
tuition in installments, with the final installment due by July 25),
this helps us extend our scholarships to more students. The tuition
reduction is based on the full tuition amount, regardless of whether
a camper would qualify for the sibling discount.
The work for these scholarships
can be done in a variety of jobs. Our greatest need
by far is for help setting up camp on Saturday, July 30
at 10:00 a.m., and for help
after the Pizza Party on Friday, August 5, with moving
music stands, chairs, and tables to their original classroom
locations. Older children, as well as parents, are welcome
helpers
during these times.
In addition, we need parents to help with crafts and sports
stations during the lunch hour, and parents to walk the
hallways to make sure that all
students find their way to classes. Our Camp Manager often
needs
a parent helper for various tasks.
Special Circumstance Full Tuition Work Scholarship
An extremely limited number of need-based
full tuition work scholarships providing up to 100% of
the tuition are available to families whose children would
not be able to attend Strings by the Sea without this
assistance. If families are able to make a contribution
of any amount, this helps us extend our scholarships
to more families in need.
Viola Scholarships
Strings by the Sea is
pleased to offer viola scholarships for
2011. Tuition for all violas will be $135. The $135
tuition applies to Full-Day Campers, Half-Day Campers, and
Sibling Discount Campers (both Full and Half-Day). The Viola Scholarships
are not based on need, and are not work scholarships. The requirements
for Viola Scholarships are below. If a viola student chooses to
attend Strings
by the Sea without the Viola Scholarship, paying full tuition or
partial tuition, the requirements below do not apply.
- The student must have had a minimum of five
months of private Suzuki viola lessons before August
1, 2011.
- At the time of enrollment, Strings by the Sea must
receive an email from the student's Suzuki viola
teacher, recommending the student for a Viola Scholarship,
describing the student's level of playing and the length of time
the student
has studied privately.
- Viola Scholarship students may be exclusively
studying viola, or they may be violin students
who are also studying viola.
If a student plays violin and viola, is receiving
a viola scholarship, and wishes to play both
violin and viola at Strings
by the Sea, please indicate this on the enrollment
form. It may be possible to play both instruments,
depending on camp needs,
and at the discretion
of the Camp Directors.
Please email us at Info@StringsByTheSea.org or call
Karla Holland-Moritz (858) 277-7543 or Glen Campbell
(619) 287-9826 if you need more information.
