We understand that, even though SYSO works to keeps our fees as low as possible, full tuition for our academic year will be more than some families can afford. We also believe that the benefits young musicians gain from participating in our programs should not be limited by their family’s financial situation. For that reason, SYSO provides financial aid and work study opportunities to families that can demonstrate need.
