Arts should be accessible to everyone, regardless of finances.
To ensure that all young people in Northwest Florida and Southwest Alabama to use the transformative power of music to unlock their potential and make a difference in their lives and the community, access barriers must be removed—including financial. This is the philosophy behind PCC's Triple-A Commitment, which stands for Affordable Accessible Arts. With multiple models of support available, families are able to rest easy knowing that their child has a home in the PCC family, regardless of their financial or life circumstances.
What exactly is Triple-A?
Triple-A is the title of PCC's financial aid initiative which provides full and partial scholarships for participation in PCC's Resident Choir Program. Multiple levels of aid promote fairness and equity across the socioeconomic spectrum of our community while also taking into account factors that do not show up on a tax return.
Who qualifies for full subsidy?
Full subsidy is available for those who have significant and documented financial need. They also must meet certain criteria. Find out more information here.
Who qualifies for partial assistance?
The underlying philosophy of Triple-A is that those who need help will ask, and if they ask, we will help. Financial assistance is provided in tiers based on household income, household size, and an accompanying statement of need.
