Piano Lab Tuition

Application Costs

OAcademy is free to apply and you only need to pay if selected.

Subsidized Tuition

Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, OAcademy’s subsidized tuition covers most of the costs associated with honoraria for world-class faculty, mentors, and module leaders. Each accepted participant automatically receives a fellowship bursary that reduces the out-of-pocket cost by 75%.

2026 Enrollment Fee:

$2,750 USD

In-person residencies

While not required to earn the Artist Diploma, fellows are offered a range of in-person residencies as part of the OAcademy experience. All core ground costs, including shared lodging, meals, and ground transportation are covered by OAcademy through a network of partnerships. Flights are covered directly by fellows as an optional expense if electing to take part.

When the fees are due

If you are invited to participate in OAcademy, your place in the Cohort is only confirmed upon receipt of your enrollment fee or a deposit, which must be submitted within two weeks of being invited to take part. All enrollment fee payments are non-refundable.
