Financial Aid

Please note: we receive more requests for aid than we have available and cannot always fully fund all requests. Please make plans now to apply for additional scholarships or sponsorships to offset the different in requested aid and awarded aid.

Sibling Discount

YMA offers a sibling discount that will be automatically applied when you register. Financial Aid recipients do not receive a sibling discount on top of their financial aid award.
