  • Financial Aid

    Application Fee Waiver / Scholarship / Work-Study / Technology Access
  • The New York Youth Symphony recognizes that the cost of application and registration fees may be prohibitive for some students, and that access to technology may be a barrier to participation in online activities. Financial aid, application fee waivers, work-study, and technology funds are available to help offset these expenses. Financial need is the major consideration when awarding assistance. Remaining funds will be distributed if available at the scholarship committee's discretion. We ask that students seek funding through their personal networks in addition to completing this form as funds are limited.
