What Options Do I have to Pay the Application Fee?
The application fee is $30 per student, regardless of grade level or choir type. Credit or debit card payment(s) are the only payment types accepted.
Option 1 Send a Payment Request to a Parent/Guardian: Often teachers want to be able for parents/guardians to be able to pay the registration cost themselves. You have the option to have a payment link sent to an individual for them to pay the registration cost. You will need a valid email address for the person who should receive the payment link. During the application process and at the payment section of the application, select “Send payment request to Parent/Guardian.” The system will send them a payment link to use and will also notify you when the payment has been made.
Option 2 Pay by Credit or Debit Card for 1-3 students: At the end of each application, simply pay by credit or debit card. Be advised that some credit/debit cards will stop allowing you to process multiple transactions after 3-5 transactions. This is unpredictable and every credit/debit card is different. If you need to process more than 3 transactions, we recommend you use the bulk payment option to avoid any issues with your credit card processing.
Option 3 Pay by Credit or Debit Card for 4 or more students using one form of payment: Follow the following steps:
- First, complete the application for each student.
- At the payment section on the application, select “Bulk Purchase.”
- Visit the Bulk Payment Form link on the email confirmation for the student or CLICK HERE. You only need to visit the link once and place all students on the same form and make one payment for all students at the same time. You will need the Singer ID# from your confirmation emails to complete the form.
- Your students are not registered until their application is submitted AND the bulk payment has been made. You must complete both steps for students to be eligible.
