In the past, generous donors have provided scholarships - and more are being sought - to ensure that the students whose auditions demonstrate their talent and qualifications will be able to attend, regardless of financial need. Donors interested in being part of the future of the creative arts in New York – by ensuring that our most talented young artists have the opportunity to work together and develop their skills – should make their donations payable to “NYSSSA, State Education Department” and mail those donations to the address below.

The summer of 2012 will mark the 43rd year of operation for the schools that form the New York State Summer School of the Arts. This program, with its eight component summer residential Schools is sponsored and supported by the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and is administered by the State Education Department. Recognized as one of the finest programs of its kind in the nation, over 15,000 high school age students have become part of this unique summer experience. Alumni surveys attest to the success of the schools in helping high school students with special talents identify and pursue career choices in all fields of the fine arts and performing arts at an early age. The Schools provide opportunities for all New York State students who qualify through auditions to receive the highest level of training and instruction.
The Summer Schools of the Arts are directed and staffed by internationally acclaimed artists and companies such as the New York City Ballet and The Philadelphia Orchestra. Students work in small groups and in one-on-one sessions with professionals and with other students of similar ability. NYSSSA’s goal is clear: to provide intensive, preprofessional training programs for New York State’s most gifted and motivated young artists, those who are considering careers in the arts or entertainment industries. The schools provide intensive training in an environment where students experience the rigorous discipline of the daily life of a professional artist. The program is open to all high school age students who qualify through auditions. Tuition assistance, based upon financial need, is available. No students who qualify are denied NYSSSA’s opportunities because they cannot afford them. NYSSSA represents the wide spectrum of cultural, ethnic, social, and economic that is New York State.
