Auxiliary Program FAQs

Idyllwild Arts Auxiliary Programs are committed to supporting arts education for students from a wide variety of backgrounds, regardless of a family’s ability to pay the full tuition amount. We encourage any family interested in an Idyllwild Arts Auxiliary Programs to apply for a financial need-based scholarship.

This application is good for one school year, from Fall through Spring. The application does not need to be filled out more than once per year, but funding is not automatically guaranteed. Email summer@idyllwildarts.org to be considered for financial aid for each season that you participate.

Summer scholarship applications use FAST and are not included as a part of this application. 

A committee will review your application and respond to you within two weeks. Scholarships are used to support either all or a portion of program tuition. All recipients are responsible for their $25 application fee and transportation to and from campus.

Idyllwild Arts offers Auxiliary Programs and the refund policy for these workshops are as follows:
Full payment is due the day the student registers online for an Auxiliary program (unless paying by check, in which case a check should be brought to the first class.)

Withdrawal Less than 30 Days Before the Class is Scheduled to Begin: No refunds whatsoever will be made less than 30 days before a class is scheduled to begin.

Workshops canceled more than 30 days prior to the start date of the class: All fees will be refunded, with the exception of the $25 application fee and a 3% credit card processing fee on the original amount paid.

“Thank You! Drawstring Bead & Quill Medicine Pouch was a new experience, my first time taking an online class. I also have never worked with porcupine quills; I was happy for this new understanding. Navajo Loom Beading/Cuff with Jennifer Ben was just as interesting, intricate and fascinating.

I have come away with a very beautiful Beaded Cuff and a very memorable experience. The real perk — taking the classes with my two granddaughters, 14- and 16-years-old.”

"I have learned how to strengthen my techniques, and how to add different chords to a song to spice it up. The supportive atmosphere makes me feel so safe and free to express myself without being judged.It doesn't matter what level of songwriter you are."

"Thank you to the entire faculty and staff of Jazz in the Pines Student Workshop for keeping the spirit of Idyllwild alive. Our family isn't comparing this online year to what "should" have been; we're comparing it to what the summer would have been like without any Idyllwild at all.This has been amazing. 2020 has demanded unprecedented improvisation from all of us. Who is better suited to this moment than a bunch of jazz musicians?"
