General financial aid is based solely on the parents’ and/or student’s ability to pay. The amount of assistance awarded is dependant on the family circumstances as well as NEMC’s space available in the instrument/voice, age, and gender categories. We ask that you carefully consider the value of this experience for your child and ask only for what you truly need. Special consideration is made for families is extenuating circumstances. We encourage anyone who feels they cannot afford to attend without assistance to apply. Our belief is that anyone should be able to come to camp, regardless of financial means or hardships!

Performance-based merit scholarships are awarded to exceptional musicians, based upon proven musical ability, dedication to the musical craft, and the potential for improving the overall experience for all campers. Individuals may win different scholarships in consecutive years but are not eligible to win the same scholarship more than once regardless of the year. Please read the instructions for each scholarship very carefully as the requirements vary.

Performance awards are given to students whom audition for camp at any live audition. Students are only eligible for these awards in their FIRST year of enrollment. To inquire about our live audition calendar or to schedule a home visit email:
