Tuition, Financial Aid, & Scholarships
For those families who would have extreme hardship paying this tuition, limited funds are available from the school for financial aid. Families wishing to apply for this financial aid must fill-out the Financial Aid Application to be submitted by the deadline in July.
In order to complete the Financial Aid Application form, a tax statement must be submitted for each person in the household who has a job (also a signed statement explaining any other additional income must be included). These tax statements (or copies) must be brought to school and turned in for the Financial Aid Application to be considered complete.
Application for financial aid does not guarantee that it will be granted. Many families must make sacrifices in order to pay for tuition. YCHS tries to use its limited funding to help the families who have the greatest need.
If YCHS finds a sponsor to pay the student’s financial aid, then the student will write quarterly update letters to the sponsor, and a copy of the student’s report card will be sent to the sponsor each quarter.
