environment and, as such, encourages professional work. For example, Institute students are hired as musicians or in other areas of ministry in Yale’s chapels or area churches. Part-time positions abound in the libraries, dining halls, and various offices of the University. Nonetheless, the Institute does not encourage students to pursue outside work at the expense of their obligations to the Institute or their respective Schools. Students generally work between ten and fifteen hours a week (not to exceed nineteen hours per week). The Institute demands that students prepare for classes and rehearsals, attend them, and participate fully in the life of the Institute. Students shall submit requests to work outside the Institute (both for pay and not for pay) to their adviser with sufficient time to be reviewed by the director. This requirement includes any work in performances on and off campus. Forms can be obtained from the Office of Student Affairs.</span></p> </div> </div> </div> <div data-component-width="site" class="divider__wrapper"> <div data-divider-position="left" class="divider__inner"> <div data-animate-item="enabled" class="divider" data-divider-width="100"></div> </div> </div> <div data-component-width="site" data-component-alignment="left" class="accordion" data-embedded-components> <div class="accordion__inner"> <h2 class="accordion__heading"> Scholarships and Awards</h2> <ul style="display: none" aria-label="Section controls" class="accordion__controls"> <li class="item"> <button aria-expanded="false" class="accordion__toggle-all">Expand All <svg class="accordion__icon" > <use xlink:href="/themes/contrib/atomic/node_modules/@yalesites-org/component-library-twig/dist/icons.svg#angle-down"></use> </svg> </button> </li> </ul> <div> <div> <div data-accordion-expanded="true" class="accordion-item" > <h3 class="accordion-item__heading"> <button aria-expanded="true" class="accordion-item__toggle"> Named Scholarships <svg class="accordion-item__icon" aria-hidden="true" role="img" > <use xlink:href="/themes/contrib/atomic/node_modules/@yalesites-org/component-library-twig/dist/icons.svg#angle-down"></use> </svg> </button> </h3> <div class="accordion-item__content"> <div data-component-width="site" data-component-alignment="center" data-component-variation="default" class="text-field"> <div class="text-field__inner"> <div class="text"> <div data-component-width="site" data-component-alignment="left" data-component-variation="default" class="inner-text-field"> <div class="inner-text-field__inner"> <div class="text"> <p>The named scholarships are part of the Institute’s pool of resources.

Students must have been enrolled in at least one semester in the 2020–2021 academic year, have received some form of financial aid (scholarship, grant, loan, or job) in the 2020–2021 academic year, and must have COVID-19 related expenses that were not covered by other forms of financial aid. In order to start the appeals process, students need to contact their school’s financial aid office. The student’s financial aid officer will determine if they are eligible to appeal and will enable them to complete the online appeals application. Final eligibility determinations will be made by the HEERF Working Group. Appeals will be reviewed in the order they are received. HEERF II appeal funds are limited and completing an application for an appeal does not guarantee the receipt of funding. <strong>The deadline for submitting an appeal is July 22, 2021.</strong></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div> <div data-accordion-expanded="true" class="accordion-item" > <h3 class="accordion-item__heading"> <button aria-expanded="true" class="accordion-item__toggle"> Special Awards for Music Students <svg class="accordion-item__icon" aria-hidden="true" role="img" > <use xlink:href="/themes/contrib/atomic/node_modules/@yalesites-org/component-library-twig/dist/icons.svg#angle-down"></use> </svg> </button> </h3> <div class="accordion-item__content"> <div data-component-width="site" data-component-alignment="center" data-component-variation="default" class="text-field"> <div class="text-field__inner"> <div class="text"> <div data-component-width="site" data-component-alignment="left" data-component-variation="default" class="inner-text-field"> <div class="inner-text-field__inner"> <div class="text"> <p>The named awards will be given to first-year music students in addition to the usual scholarship awards, and will be renewable for a second year if progress is satisfactory.</p> <p><strong>The Baker Award</strong> Named in honor of Professor Emeritus Robert Baker, the award is given to one or more students deemed to be among the top 1 or 2 percent of the young organists in the country and who have elected to study at the Yale School of Music and the Institute of Sacred Music.</p> <p><strong>The French Award</strong> The award, named in honor of Professor Richard French, is given to one or more choral conducting students, deemed among the best in the country, who attend the Yale School of Music and the Institute of Sacred Music.</p> <h4>Fifth Semester for Church Music Certificate Course</h4> <p>Participants enroll as nondegree students for the fifth semester at the Yale Divinity School and receive a full-tuition scholarship.
