Interlochen Arts Academy: Tuition Fund
This January I flew out to Michigan to audition for the Interlochen
Arts Academy boarding high school. During my short time there I discovered what
an amazing school it is, and fell in love with the idea of being able to attend
the Arts Academy.
I recently learned that I have been accepted for the
singer-songwriter major and I am very much looking forward to spending my last
two years of high school there.
Before high school I attended Nevada City School of the Arts
where I was greatly exposed to, and found a passion for music. For the last few
years I have been growing and developing musically, all the while striding
towards my goal of having a music-related career. I have been taking voice and
piano lessons, and have briefly studied the cello and guitar. I have also been a
part of a band, my current high school's concert choir, and have participated
in various music workshops. All of these things contribute to my main area of
interest, songwriting. Interlochen seems to be the best place possible for me
to grow further as a musician and a person. Here is their website, in case you
want to take a look:

The tuition fee for Interlochen stands at roughly $51,000
per year. I will most likely be allotted a large sum of financial aid, but even
with that I will probably still need additional financial support. I am making
all the efforts I can to come up with money, this site included. Please, if it
is at all possible, give something towards my musical education. All the money raised will be contributed to paying the tuition fee and any additional costs. Remember,
anything helps, and I hope that next year I will be able to tell you about my experiences at
Interlochen Arts Academy and share my music with you.Thanks!
