ACS Music & Movement Program Scholarships

Exclusive funding for programs offered at A Child's Song

A Child's Song believes that Music Changes Lives so we are committed to breaking down the barriers of access to life-changing music programs for many who might otherwise not have access.

A Child’s Song gives financial aid in the form of scholarships to clients enrolled in our Melody Gym or instrument lessons who have any unique need— whether physical, developmental, social, emotional, or financial. Scholarships are given to clients who would benefit from our programs and have a great desire but limited resources to move forward.

A Child’s Song is a safe, welcoming, and inclusive space for all.

Scholarships are determined based on the availability of funds and the needs of the clients. Scholarship amounts can range anywhere from 10% to 75% coverage of the programs. Scholarships are not required to be repaid. All scholarship recipients will be required to reapply annually.

Applications are accepted at any time. The administrative team for A Child’s Song will make scholarship appropriations and notify the recipients as soon as possible after receiving the application.

To apply, please fill out the application below. *Please note that these scholarships are exclusively for programming lessons offered through ACS. General funding requests will not be considered.
