Tuition for the 2024-25 season: $1080
Scholarships for 2024-25 season:
We are committed to ensuring that all families, regardless of income can participate in FWYSO ensembles. We have set aside a significant financial assistance allowance to support any family experiencing higher-than-usual pressures or burdens this Fall. No family will be turned away because of an inability to pay tuition.
This season, as we rebuild the orchestra, we are offering a $300 scholarship to new members accepted by our final fall auditions, October 8th. Additionally, we are offering a refer-a-friend scholarship, applied to the cost of the summer 2025 Korea tour. Students referring one or more friends to the orchestra by our October 8th auditions will receive a $200 scholarship towards the summer tour tuition cost.
Other Costs
Volunteer Requirement
We ask all BYSO families to fulfill at least four hours of volunteer service per musician per year. Many different simple tasks are available. We often also have office odd jobs and small projects that are perfect for students needing a few more Community Service hours.
