Student Support
Stanford Jazz Workshop strives to make its programs accessible to all deserving and talented young musicians. In 2024, with the help of our beloved donors, we distributed more than $100,000 through our Student Support Fund.
Support is available to young musicians between the ages of 11 and 17. We make every effort to assist all families who request assistance. Support can be applied towards the following programs:
- Giant Steps Day Camp
- Jazz Camp
- Jazz Institute
- All two-week programs
- Giant Steps Big Band
- Miles Ahead Big Band
The deadline to apply for support is April 15th, 2025.
You will be guided to complete the following steps during and after the registration process.
During the registration process:
- Begin the application for support when you register online

We’ll send email reminders to complete the following steps as soon as possible after you’ve registered:
