SLIDING SCALE TUITION
We believe that every student who wants to play should get to play. That’s why we offer a variety of tuition levels for our programming.

We encourage you to select the option that’s best for your family at this time.

  • $900: Mutual Aid Supporter + Standard Tuition

  • $750: Pay It Forward + Standard Tuition

  • $625: Tuition Level A - Standard Tuition

  • $450: Tuition Level B

  • $300: Tuition Level C

A limited number of full-tuition scholarships are available. If paying tuition is a barrier for your family right now, please email programs@seattlejazzed.org to request a code for a no-tuition option.

If you’re able to choose a level that is above standard tuition, your support will go even farther to ensure:

  • Every student has access to JazzED programs, regardless of their ability to pay.

  • Teaching artists can earn a livable wage while mentoring and inspiring our next generation of musicians.

A new Washington State law (ESSB 5814) requires us to add sales tax to tuition. Sales tax will apply to all tuition amounts up to our standard tuition level.

You can also read our refund policy (recommended).
