Financial Aid / Sibling Discount
NJPAC is dedicated to making our programs accessible to all students. The Arts Center has an abundance of financial aid programs available for our students, made possible by our generous donors including the Marcia Wilson Brown Fund for Arts Education. We encourage families who are considering not participating in our programs because of monetary concerns to apply for financial aid. 

No student is turned away for financial needs.

We also offer a 10% sibling discount. 

To apply, please fill out the following form: HERE

A representative from the Arts Education Department will then be in touch with you to provide a code to offset some or all of the tuition costs. Do not register until you are provided with a code.
