(*)Full scholarships (SAS-C funded) for children with documented disabilities or from low-income families. Scholarships are available to Miami-Dade residents who qualify for free or reduced lunch or receive SNAP assistance. If the student qualifies for free or reduced lunch or receives SNAP assistance and you would like to request a camp scholarship, please email proof of eligibility to info@theoperaatelier.com. For students enrolled in Miami-Dade County Public Schools, you may send a screenshot of the student information tab, which can be found in the student or parent portal. Proof of SNAP assistance is also acceptable. There is a limited number of full scholarships available. Students who participate in the MOZ-Art Program funded by the Children’s Trust Scholarship may not simultaneously participate in any other Children’s Trust Summer Program.

NOTE: Students on scholarship should maintain excellent attendance (no more than 2 unexcused absences), punctuality, discipline, and academic performance. Otherwise, they risk losing their scholarships, which could then be assigned to other students from the waiting list. If the student abandons the summer camp, parents are required to pay a fee of $50 for each day the child attended the program. All students accepted into the program and their parents must sign a written agreement, including these terms, within ten (10) days after the admission interview, to complete the admission to the program.

 

(*)The Opera Atelier Music Scholarships, granted by The Opera Atelier, will cover $1250 of the tuition ($2000).  The number of these scholarships is limited. Scholarships are granted on a first-come, first-served basis. 

​

​​

Requirements:

​

*The attendance commitment is essential. The commitment to excellent attendance and punctuality is essential since this is an intensive program that concludes with public performances in Miami-Dade venues. Music activities demand a significant investment in time and effort from all the students working together towards a common goal: the success of the final production. Thus, the full schedule of classes, lessons, rehearsals, and coaching sessions requires the participation of all involved.

 
*Children enrolled in the program may not participate in any other Summer Camp or performance program during the program period (June 9 – July 27, 2025).

​

*Participants should be available for all performances, including recitals and production.

​

If you have additional questions about the program, please contact us via e-mail with your questions at contact@theoperaatelier.com

​​

*Note for International Students:
Please bear in mind that The Opera Atelier is not responsible for room and board or visa processing. Scholarships are available only to Miami-Dade residents, and international students are not eligible for scholarships. Additionally, to be accepted into the program, international students must provide proof of legal residency or other authorization to be legally in the United States during the period of studies.
