Jazzcamp West - Scholarship/Work Study

Important information regarding Scholarships
Along with filling out your financial application, please attach

1. A copy of your most recent tax return. (Minors, please attach a copy of the adult wage earners tax return.)

2. A brief musical/dance bio including areas of interest, experience and any other info you would like us to know. (Not more than a few paragraphs).

We will not accept applications that are incomplete, so make sure you have completed your bio, filled out all questions and attached a copy of your tax return.

All of our scholarship awards are considered work-study positions.
If you receive financial help, you will be asked to participate by helping with a chosen task that will not take more than a total of 1 hour a day. These tasks include helping move the tables in the dining hall to prepare the room for our dance classes, office support, moving equipment, clean-up crew, etc. We also ask all of our work-study students to stay approximately 2 extra hours on the final day to help close up camp. You should be ready to go home around 4-5 pm on the final Saturday. Another possible choice of work-study jobs is to arrive a day early to help set up camp in lieu of taking on tasks during the week. If you think this is a possibility for you, give us a call to let us know. People interested in this should either be familiar with putting together drum kits or be strong enough to help move music equipment.

A work-study meeting will be held on the first day of camp before dinner to assign work-study jobs and answer any questions.
