Announcements
Royal Academy Of Music Exchange Program The Juilliard School shares a year-long student exchange program with the Royal Academy of Music in London, and is now accepting applications from currently enrolled music students. One applicant will be selected to spend the 2005-06 academic year at the Academy, while one Academy student studies at Juilliard. This program is not funded; your Juilliard tuition payment will cover the tuition of the Royal Academy. However, both students will be eligible for their respective financial aid packages from their home institutions. For more information on the exchange program and for an application, visit the Dean’s Office as soon as possible. Applications are due March 1.
Have you heard of ArtReach or Project UGLy? These began as summer projects created by Juilliard students and funded, in part, by the School. Proposals for summer projects—which must reflect your sense of social responsibility as an artist and have educational value to you as a student—are due March 1, 2005. If interested, pick up a Summer Grant information sheet in the Dean’s Office today. What will YOU be doing next summer?
