Fee Structure
Trollwood Performing Arts School is a program of Fargo Public Schools. Students are required to pay a registration fee to help off-set the costs related to programming. Any citizen whose primary residence is within the Fargo Public School District is required to pay the Fargo Public School fee stated on the registration form for middle school and high school programs. Any Fargo Public School student who is currently in grades 10 through 12 who enrolls in an approved credit earning course will be admitted to the course at no charge and may earn up to 2 elective credits for their participation. Anyone outside the Fargo Public School District will pay the “other” fee stated above and on the registration form for middle school and high school programs. All elementary school students will pay the flat rate of $185 to participate in a one week long session of ArtSpark.
Fee Payment
Acceptable means of payment are cash, check or money order (payable to Trollwood Performing Arts School), or by MasterCard/Visa. No registration will be processed without accompanying fee payment and parental signed registration form, unless prior arrangement has been made with the Trollwood office.
Payment Options
The student’s family may choose the fee payment plan that best meets their financial situation. Payment may be made in full at time of registration, the family may choose one of the payment options included on the registration form, or students may apply for financial aid.
Minnesota Students:
Minnesota residents may be able to deduct tuition expenses on their federal/state income taxes. Contact your tax advisor to discuss.
Refund Policy
Trollwood planning, hiring, purchasing, and related expenses are directly determined by the number of enrollments. There-fore, no refunds will be made for early withdrawals, student program cancellations, student-initiated course(s) cancellation, or expulsion for disciplinary reasons, except as follows:
If a student must withdraw early because of a documented family emergency, a prorated refund of program fee(s) will be paid.
We reserve the right to cancel a class or program if enrollment is insufficient. Any fee paid for that class or program will be refunded in full.

Application Process
It is our desire that any young person who wishes to participate in Trollwood programs is able to do so. Financial Aid is awarded taking into consideration the following criteria:
Financial need of the student’s family. Criteria are based on the guidelines established by the Fargo Public School’s free and reduced-price lunch program. Preference will be given to students from Cass County, ND and Clay County, MN.
Proficiency (taking into consideration talent, skills and merit) of the student.
The need of Trollwood to strengthen sections or departments after regular enrollments is completed. Every applicant will be given due consideration as funds are awarded, but because of the number of applicants and limited amount of funding, every applicant may not receive funding. All applicants are encouraged to seek other possible sources of funding within their communities.
NOTE: If a financial aid request is not fully granted, personalized payment plans are available to anyone who prefers to split up their program fee balance into multiple installments. No application is required; simply check the appropriate payment option box on the registration form.
