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.

- Copy of MediCal card with parent or student’s name, OR
- Proof of Section 8 Housing Voucher, OR
