In the event that an in-person rehearsal must be put on hold, SYSO is committed to continuing our services online, and therefore we will not be refunding tuition.
SYSO provides Financial Aid to ensure that financial resources are not a barrier to participation. If you have already applied for aid during the application process for your program, you do not need to re-submit this form unless your financial situation has changed.
All financial information submitted to SYSO is kept strictly confidential.
The deadline to apply for financial aid for the 2021-22 Academic Year Orchestra Program has passed. To inquire further about financial aid, please email info@syso.org.
Update 10/04/21: Rehearsal assistant positions for this year have been filled. If you are still interested in assisting, please contact Manager of Orchestras Izchel Chacón at izchel.chacon@syso.org.
SYSO relies on support from the community to prepare for rehearsals. This year we will be offering a Rehearsal Assistant Discount. This is a position both students and parents can sign up for, and involves helping set up and tear down for rehearsals.
Rehearsal Assistants will receive a discount of 25% off annual tuition. This discount can be added to a financial aid award, but it cannot be added to an Orchestra Secretary discount.
Founded in 1942, Seattle Youth Symphony Orchestra is the largest youth orchestra training program in the United States.
