Students accepted into the program will receive full scholarships, including housing, food allowance and local transportation. (Round-trip transportation to and from Washington, D.C., is not included. Applicants may apply to the NSO for financial aid to help defray round-trip transportation costs.)

During the Summer Music Institute, students will work with NSO members during private lessons, chamber music coaching, master classes and seminars; participate in the NSO Summer Music Institute orchestra; and enjoy performance opportunities in the D.C. metropolitan area.
