Dreaming of New School in New York

A Little About Me
Stuttering sucks but singing made everything better. It is amazing how a person does not stutter while singing. They taught me that in speech therapy but I think I already knew that because I have been singing all my life.
It is my dream to make a living off of my voice and talents and I truly believe that The New School of Jazz in New York will give me the education and training I need to pursue my dream and reach my goals.
Crazy Cost
The one thing blocking my path is the crazy cost to attend New School. The total estimated cost including tuition & fees, books & supplies, room & board, and transportation for 2017-18 is $63,770. I received a $4,000 scholarship which brings the total cost to $59,770. I was also awarded $5,500 in federal loans but my ultimate goal is the $59,770. If I can avoid loans at all cost that would be great. All though I have dreams of making it big I know it will take a lot of hard work, and after I graduate there might be times where money is tight.
Thank You!!
Well that is it. If you made it all the way here I thank you for taking the time to read about my story. Any help is truly appreciated even if it is just sharing my story. Thanks again!!
New School Audition Video. I was eventually called in for a live audition where I had to sing three songs. I was beyond nervous :-)
Last years recital at the Charlotte Academy of Music
