Fees and Payment


Semester fees for the Western Kansas String Academy are based on two possible levels of enrollment: Full-time or Saturday-only. The Full-time status is for students needing a private instructor arranged through WKSA. Saturday-only status is for students who have made independent arrangements for private lessons. (Remember—all WKSA students are required to take individual, private lessons.)

Fees

The fee for full-time WKSA status is $150 per semester. Cost includes the following:

•Auditions for orchestra placement (no auditions for pre-orchestra)
•10 private lessons per semester with an Academy Instructor
•Orchestra/guitar class participation and performance (10 rehearsals plus concert per semester)
•Exploratory Hour classes
•Educational Juries for advancement
•Musical / Social Activities
•WKSA T-shirt
•Additional Performance Opportunities as arranged by staff

The fee for Saturday only Status is $75 per semester. Cost includes all of the above except the private lessons, which must be arranged independently by the student, and verified by the student’s private teacher.

Students paying for the entire year receive a 10% discount.

Payment

WKSA fees can be paid by check, money order, or credit card. A minimum $25 non-refundable deposit is required with the student’s enrollment application for that semester, and full payment of fees is expected by audition day.

An optional installment payment plan is available. If you are interested in this option, please consult a WKSA staff member on audition day.

Financial Assistance is available for those who qualify. Contact WKSA staff for more information.
