Tuition Relief
Director’s Scholarships
The Director’s Scholarship was established to assist artists who demonstrate financial need and artistic promise. The scholarship covers the cost of one full-time or part-time class for one school year from September through May.
Work Study
The work-study program was established to assist artists who demonstrate financial need and artistic merit. Work-study applications are accepted throughout the year and are available on a limited basis. Once awarded, the applicant works four hours per week at the League in exchange for a scholarship that covers approximately 75% of the monthly class tuition for one school year (September through May). Scholarship recipients are responsible to pay the remaining balance of the class fee and all other fees applicable during time of monthly registration. The Work-Study Coordinator assigns work-study scholarships. For further details or to receive an application, call (212) 247-4510 extension 101.
