SDYS offers tuition assistance so that all families can allow their children to experience the joy of music. We are strongly committed to our financial aid program and the principle that financial need should not be a barrier to enter our programs.
Need-Based Assistance
SDYS is committed to making quality music education programs accessible and affordable to any young person who wants to participate. In support of this goal, The Encore Fund has been established to provide tuition assistance. Please submit your application early to ensure that it is considered.
To apply for need-based tuition assistance, please complete the Tuition Assistance Application (PDF and online version found below) and submit this form with the approved supporting documentation (see part D).
