Scholarships and Financial Assistance

The Randall Wolfe Scholarship Fund was founded during the 2015 Cincinnati Boychoir 50th Anniversary Season to honor the many years of service of our longest-serving director. 

This revolving fund supports boys who exhibit dedication to the pursuit of musical excellence, demonstrate leadership qualities, and whose participation in Boychoir embodies a passion for our mission. 

This is a competitive, merit-based scholarship that must be applied for and is awarded annually in the Fall to boys enrolled in JourneyMen, DeltaChor or Ambassadors. Full or partial tuition scholarships may be awarded. 

Applications will be made available to boys enrolling in the next available Fall session. This scholarship is subject to fund availability, and will be offered annually when possible.

 Deadline to apply: August 28, 2022 

 Founded by a generous gift from Mrs. Jean Clipson, the Maxwell Scholarship Fund is named for Mrs. Clipson's great-grandfather, Lawrence Maxwell, who was a president of the Cincinnati May Festival, and a lifelong supporter of vocal music in Cincinnati. Jean’s grandson, Robert Maxwell Pauly, is a Boychoir alumnus and her son Lawrence Pauly was a member of the Men’s Glee Club and is a current member of the Boychoir’s Board of Trustees.  

The annual earnings on this endowed fund currently allow us to cover the tuition for up to two boys each year who demonstrate both financial need and whose participation in Boychoir embody a passion for our mission.

 This is a competitive, need-based scholarship that must be applied for and is awarded annually in the Fall. All boys are eligible to apply for this scholarship.  

 Deadline to apply: August 28, 2022 

 We understand that many of our families need assistance, and we strive to help as many boys participate as possible, regardless of economic need. All families are eligible to apply for our general financial assistance fund, and need only submit one application per year. 

Financial assistance is subject to fund availability and volume of applicants, and assistance cannot be guaranteed. 

Every application received by the stated deadline will be reviewed by a Financial Aid committee comprised of executive staff and at least one member from the Boychoir Board of Trustees. Award amounts will be determined in part by Federal Poverty Level guidelines*, family circumstances, and volume of applicants.
