FEE WAIVERS

The inability to pay a registration fee should never be a barrier to enter the competition. Fee waiver requests are available for singers who demonstrate significant financial need. All request must be submitted by November 25th.

To be considered for a fee waiver, please email Premiere Opera Foundation:

  • A personal letter describing your financial situation.

As well as one of the following: 

  • If you are independent, copies of your last two years tax forms.

  • If you are a student, a letter on school stationery from your current college's Financial Aid Office stating that you have financial need of a fee waiver.


Fee waiver requests will not be considered until all necessary material is received. Requests will be kept strictly confidential, evaluated by our team, and all decisions will be final. Requesting a fee waiver, does not mean that you will be granted one. Thank you!
