The priority deadline is Sunday, April 30 at 11:59 p.m. Students will be selected on a rolling basis, with the first notifications of acceptance going out in late March. We will continue to accept and review applications after the April 30 deadline for as long as seats remain available. Some applicants may be added to a waitlist due to the high volume of applicants.

The cost of the workshop is $2,250. An initial deposit of $400 is required within 7 days of acceptance to confirm a student’s place in this year’s workshop class. Financial assistance is also available. Students should note their financial need on the application and a board member will reach out if they are accepted.
