Access is a core value of The Milwaukee Irish Fest School of Music. The IFSM's financial aid program was created specifically for the purpose of assisting individuals and families with demonstrated economic need to participate in lessons, classes, and instrument rentals. The information below should help to answer most questions about our financial aid program. For additional information, please download the application document below or contact the IFSM directly at 414-476-3378.

Eligibility

Any individual may apply for financial aid, though preference may be given to students under the age of 18. Applications must be legibly printed in ink or typewritten and must be signed by a parent or legal guardian. If multiple family members are applying for aid, an application must be filled out for each student.

Privacy

Every effort is made to protect the privacy of the individual/family applying for financial aid. Upon receiving applications, all personal information is removed and the application itself is given a code number as it is reviewed.

Application Process

All requests for tuition assistance require TWO pieces of information:

• A completed Request for Financial Aid Application form

And ONE of the following:

• Proof of eligibility for school lunch programs

OR

• A copy of the applicant's most recent Form 1040 tax return

If you do not have some of these documents and would still like to apply for financial aid, please contact the IFSM. Students who are awarded financial aid in the Winter/Spring Term must submit a new application each term, excluding the additional financial documents.
