Tuition Assistance

SDYS offers tuition assistance so that all families can allow their children to experience the joy of music.

SDYS offers need-based tuition assistance, but applying for tuition assistance does not guarantee approval. Tuition assistance is not available for the registration fee.

Families can demonstrate financial need by submitting a two-page tuition assistance application WITH ONE (1) of the following forms of support documentation:
