Tuition & Fees
Payment Schedule
A $50 nonrefundable registration fee is due at registration to secure the performer’s spot.
The remaining tuition balance is due in full by the first rehearsal.
Flexible payment arrangements are available upon request but must be established before the first rehearsal.
CFPA accepts eligible Step Up For Students scholarship funds. Families planning to use scholarship funds must notify CFPA and complete all required authorization steps by the first rehearsal.
Families are responsible for any tuition or fees not covered by their scholarship.
If a payment is declined or an agreed-upon payment arrangement is not kept current, participation may be affected until the balance is resolved.
