Financial Assistance
About our program
Finances should never prevent a child from participating in music education programs. The Kamloops Music Collective is committed to making our programming accessible to as many children and youth in our community as possible. Our Financial Assistance program has made a difference in the lives of hundreds of local kids by helping them access in tuition-based programs at a reduced rate. If you need financial assistance, at any level, please apply.
​
Funding is awarded on the basis of commitment to music and financial need. While we try to help as many youth as possible, the number of awards that we approve is limited by the funding our organization receives from local donors.
To be considered for financial assistance, applicants can complete an online application form. Your privacy matters to us and your information and situation never shared with anyone​

Additional sources of financial assistance
The Boogie the Bridge Cultural Fund (BBCF) is a community-based cultural funding program established in 2005 that provides grants for children ages 5 to 18 who are in need of financial assistance. Recipients of BBCF funding are given the opportunity to participate in cultural programs in Kamloops. We have had many KISSM attendees benefit from this funding in the past and we encourage low income households to apply for both a KMC Bursary and to the Boogie to the Bridge Cultural Fund assistance.
Whole Note
Whole Note is a community-based music program for emerging musicians who are looking to fulfill their passion and potential. Whole Note is open to students in Grades 6-11 in Kamloops. Students accepted into the program receive support in funding music lessons with local music teachers for up to 10 lessons. They are also given opportunities to attend musical productions in the community such as Western Canada Theatre productions, or Kamloops Symphony Orchestra concerts. Acceptance into the Whole Note program also includes a full scholarship to attend the Kamloops Interior Summer School of Music. Applications for the Whole Note program begin at the end of the Summer (generally August) until mid-to late October. Students are notified by the middle of November on the application decisions.
