New! Expanded payment plan options
We heard your feedback and have significantly expanded our payment plan options for classes starting in the 2026/27 Season.
For classes starting more than two months from the purchase date, we offer a monthly installment option. For classes starting in less than two months, bi-weekly installments are available. All classes must be fully paid before the first class meeting.
Purchasing multiple classes? Great! If one of your selections is within two months, the bi-weekly plan will be offered for all classes. Even better – contact our registration team who can help build a multi-class payment plan schedule for you.
Daniel L. Ritchie Scholarship Program
Once a class is on sale, we begin accepting scholarship applications. Adult Students may apply for up to 10 classes per year (Fall 2026 – Summer 2027). Scholarship applications are reviewed and awarded based on financial need.
If you are applying for a scholarship – please do not register online. The registrar will hold a spot based on availability while your application is reviewed; applicants will be notified if a class is already sold out.
