FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

** NO STUDENT WHO IS OFFERED A PLACE ON A NYOS COURSE WILL MISS OUT DUE TO FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCES **

Finance should never be a barrier to joining the NYOS community and we encourage everyone applying for NYOS to visit our Financial Assistance page to see what support you might be eligible for. Auditions are free and course bursaries of up to 100% are available. In 2024, 49% of our orchestral participants received bursary support, and 1 in 5 of our players attended their orchestra completely free of charge.
