The Norwalk Conservatory of the Arts is committed to admitting the most talented and promising performers, regardless of financial background.

NoCo commits nearly $1.5 million annually in scholarships. All applicants will be considered for a limited number of merit-based scholarships based on their audition. Applicants wishing to be considered for needs-based assistance must submit additional financial information to the Office of Financial Aid upon acceptance. Although we are not able to award scholarships to every student, we try to assist as many as possible.

Scholarships are awarded for the duration of the student’s course of study.

Please note that Norwalk Conservatory is not a Title IV institution and therefore is currently unable to accept federal grants/loans/work study. We are currently undergoing the accreditation process and will update all current/future students with any status changes. For more information about what this means in terms of payment options, please contact the Office of Financial Aid.
