Earn a scholarship to help with camp tuition!

Our scholarship programs provide financial assistance toward camp tuition to students who qualify through application. Scholarships are limited and awarded based on audition/portfolio, arts instructor recommendations, and in some cases, financial need. Students receive notification of any scholarship award within two weeks. Only one Blue Lake scholarship is permitted per student per camp session, but students may replace any lesser scholarship with a greater scholarship earned.

A Blue Lake scholarship award does not guarantee or reserve enrollment for a student. A camp application, which includes payment authorization for a $295 deposit, must be confirmed by Blue Lake’s Admissions Office in order to be fully enrolled. The application and deposit may be submitted prior to or after you receive notification of a scholarship. Blue Lake enrollment is accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.

Merit Scholarship

Blue Lake’s Merit Scholarship Program offers general scholarships for all arts disciplines to students who qualify by application and audition/portfolio review. There is no deadline for Merit Scholarship applications. However, camp enrollment is accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.

Financial Need

Blue Lake’s Financial Need Scholarship Program offers need based scholarships for students who qualify by application and audition/portfolio review.
