Fundraising Payment Option
If your family needs assistance covering tuition, students may participate in our Fundraising Payment Option.
Through this option, families can invite friends, relatives, and community supporters to make a donation to Music Business Kids of America to help sponsor the student’s participation in the Young Creators Academy.
Supporters can donate directly to the organization and simply include the student’s name in the memo or note field. Our team will track all donations and apply them toward the student’s tuition balance.
This allows students to build community support while gaining access to the program.
Example:
If a student’s tuition is $897, they could ask 9 supporters to donate $100 each to help fund their participation.
MBKA believes every student should have access to music industry education, and this option allows families to rally support while investing in the student’s future.
