So my question is financing. All of these schools are SO EXPENSIVE and many of them don't give scholarships that are significant enough to make them affordable for us. For example, my daughter auditioned for the Manhattan School of Music last weekend. They told us that their average student gets about half tuition, which is around $24,000. They rarely give full scholarships. The total cost with tuition, room, board, and fees is $72,000, so even with one of their best scholarships, it would still cost $48,000/year.
My daughter's vocal coach is really pushing MSM or AMDA or another big NYC school, but my husband and I just can't justify spending that much for undergrad, especially for a degree in a subject that may or may not give her steady work with decent pay.
What are you all doing for your kids? Thanks in advance.
