The Flint School of Performing Arts is committed to all students who have the spark of music and dance, regardless of their financial income or ability.  Through the tuition assistance programs like Seeing Stars! and scholarships for private lessons and ensembles, students who would not otherwise have the chance can study at the Flint School of Performing Arts.

Seeing Stars! is a special tuition assistance program for deserving students, who otherwise could not afford to study at the Flint School of Performing Arts. The program currently awards tuition assistance monies to nearly 350 music, dance and preschool students each year. Those who contribute at the Super Star level ($500 annually) support a student for one year of study at the FSPA. They are invited, by the student they sponsor, to attend recitals and other performances, becoming a part of that student's experience at the FSPA.

Each year private donors and organizations support Seeing Stars! with tuition assistance, enabling students who would not otherwise have the chance, the opportunity to study music and dance. What makes this program unusual is the personal contact between the students and donors.

Here's what some of our Seeing Stars! recipients have to say:

	"I like my guitar teacher and I'm learning lots of new songs." - Joey, Age 9
	"I really love dancing. It fills all of my time and energy and fulfills me. The FSPA gives me the opportunity to develop my talent for dancing." - LaTisha, Age 14
	"We love going up there and playing and seeing all the people. It's cool!" - Brothers Mishael (l), Age 7 and Isaiah, Age 6
