Artistic Review Fee
A $115 artistic review fee is required for acting and musical theatre applicants. Fee is paid upon completion of the Acceptd submission process. Payment is non-refundable.
Conservatory applicants can be considered for an audition fee waiver. A waiver is based upon an applicant’s financial circumstances; i.e., you have received or are eligible to receive a College Board (SAT) or NACAC application fee waiver, you are Federal Pell Grant eligible (based upon your FAFSA) or your current financial situation stipulates that the audition fee would present a hardship.
You must go directly through Accept'd to process a waived prescreen fee. Specific information regarding the requirements and process to request a fee waiver is available on Acceptd's website.
