Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp Scholarships

On Thursday and Friday, January 30th & 31st, a representative from BLFAC will be at WMS to hear students audition for scholarships. 

Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp is a non-profit summer school of the arts specializing in two-week arts programs for intermediate and high school students. Founded in 1966, Blue Lake serves approximately 4,000 students a season, offering a range of programs in music, art, dance, creative writing, and drama. We are excited to announce that a Scholarship Representative from Blue Lake will be evaluating students for scholarships and sharing some information about the summer camp programs. 

While you may not be sure if this is something you would like to consider for your child, the presentation and audition process is a great learning experience for students. If you do choose to send your student to Blue Lake, there may be a scholarship available to help cover a portion of the tuition.

In order to participate in the scholarship evaluation, your student will need to complete the online Merit Scholarship Application prior to the scholarship day. It takes about 5 minutes. Within the application, they will be asked to enter the date of our scholarship day, along with a code.

Complete this form: Merit Scholarship Application

Include this date: January 30th & 31st

TCWCO Scholarship Application for 2025 (will be available sometime in April)

It has been a goal of the West Choir Parent Organization to provide scholarships for students to study privately and/or attend performing arts camps. Providing financial assistance to students for lessons or camp experiences will improve the quality of music making in the program and provide pathways for students to represent Traverse City West in the finest collegiate performing arts programs in the country.  The organization supports investing in the future of our student vocalists and understands this investment will strengthen our program now and in the future. CPO was able to award TEN $1,000 scholarships for the 2024-2025 school year to students entering 9th-12th Grade!

Scholarship applications will be made available annually sometime in April and those selected for the second round will interview in May. Announcement of the scholarship winners usually takes place at the TC West Choirs Banquet. These scholarships are NOT the traditional audition based scholarships but rather based on other components such as how a student as demonstrated themselves all year, how a student presents themselves in the application questions and through a final interview process.
