Financial Aid
Our goal is to ensure that any student who wishes to participate may do so. No student is turned away because of a family’s inability to pay the tuition. Aid is based on need.
Our financial aid policies may be found HERE. Applications usually open in May.
If you would like to provide support and help sponsor a student, please call
Karyl Lynn Burns at 805.667.2912, ext. 224, or email her at [email protected].
Oakie Awards
A limited number of merit and talent-based financial awards are made possible through the generosity of the Jack Oakie and Victoria Horne Oakie Charitable Foundation. These awards are given at the discretion of the administrative staff and approved by the foundation trustees.
Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteer Opportunities for the upcoming Jack Oakie and Victoria Horne Oakie Charitable Foundation 2026 Summer Program will open once the season is announced.
