Withdrawal and Tuition Refunds
For Individual Instruction: The first two lessons are considered a trial period, and there is no tuition refund for these two lessons. If the student has paid for more than two lessons and desires a partial refund, he/she must complete a withdrawal form before the third lesson.
For Group Classes: BSMA will refund tuition and registration fee if a class is canceled due to inadequate enrollment (group classes must have a minimum enrollment of five students). Otherwise there are no refunds for group classes.
Financial Aid
A limited amount of financial aid to be applied to tuition is available to income-eligible students.
