Tuition Assistance
For information about tuition, please view our Policies page.
DETAILS
The Nashoba Youth Hockey Association is committed to minimizing the financial obstacles associated with participating in our hockey programs. We have partnered with community members and organizations who help us to support this mission.
- Tuition assistance is available to NYHA applicants who are in need due to financial hardship.
- Tuition Assistance Requests are held with confidentiality and will not be discussed outside of NYHA Executive Board session.
- The NYHA Executive Board may request supporting documentation from applicants and will make determinations based on the financial hardship outlined in the application and on the availability of funds.
- Determinations will be communicated to applicants in writing.
Tuition Assistance is dependent upon availability of funds and is offered to members on an individual basis in one of two ways:
Modified Payment Plan
Applicants and the NYHA Board form a written agreement including a modified payment schedule from the current fee schedule. The player will remain on the active roster if the agreed upon payment plan is followed.
Tuition Relief
Applicants and the NYHA Board form a written agreement outlining a decreased tuition rate for the season. All applicants must be willing to pay at least twenty percent (20%) of the tuition fee. Additionally, we may request that you complete applications to grant programs outside of our organization. All requests for tuition assistance will be kept confidential, and you will be notified in writing of the Board’s decision.
MAKE A REQUEST
To make a request, complete and submit the Tuition Assistance Request Form to the NYHA Treasurer BEFORE accepting a placement offer.
