<p>Also, would it be irrational for me to wonder if there are any summer music programs that would be offering full scholarships? (Or at least substantial scholarships?) I would like to attend some sort of a pre-college program before I actually go to college, but finance is a huge issue, seeing as thousands of dollars are not readily available to me or my family. Some foreshadowing: I’m currently a high school junior, whom plays the piano and will likely study at a collegiate level. I’ve mostly avoided things such as public recitals and competitions, so I have no accurate method to gauge my level of competence; however, I’ve been playing for roughly eleven years (I turned sixteen a few months ago), and I’m always ready for a challenge. I’ve been looking at some of the nation-wide programs (BUTI, EMF, Brevard, etc.), but the outright tuition for these are way over what I can handle, double-fold even. Up to $2,000 is definitely pushing it, and anything beyond is out of consideration. If anyone knows how much scholarship money I can milk out of the aforementioned programs, or any other inexpensive options in general, I would be very grateful.</p>
