The Berkshire Music School is a 501c(3) charitable institution, and by law may not discriminate in the awarding of financial aid. This means that all applicants must follow the same application procedures. No special consideration or exclusions can be given based on race, sex, religion, ethnic origin, disability, or age. Students receiving financial aid are responsible for the balance of tuition not covered by scholarships. BMS now requires a valid credit card on file for payment of the outstanding balance; and monthly payments will be automatically charged via credit card after each fourth lesson.
