- 20% tuition remission benefit for children of full-time UNE employees entering Grade 1 and higher
- Admission application fee waiver
- Renewable annually with proof of employment
- Eligibility for additional need-based financial assistance remains
- Qualifying standards, implementation, and amounts vary by town
- 529 Education Savings Plans
- Coverdell Education Savings Accounts

Need-Based Financial Assistance at NYA
NYA’s need-based financial assistance (FA) program helps families afford an NYA education. Grants are awarded based on demonstrated financial need and do not need to be repaid.
To ensure fairness and confidentiality, NYA partners with FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment, an independent third party that evaluates applications. Families may also share additional information in writing with the Director of Admission for review by the Financial Assistance Committee.
Highlights of Our FA Program:
- Over 40% of NYA families receive some form of assistance each year
- NYA awards over 3.5M in financial assistance annually
- Decisions are made independently from admission decisions
- Grants are awarded primarily in Grades 5–12; Lower School (Grades 1-4) awards are limited
- Families with children over age six are generally expected to have two employed parents (with some exceptions)
- Families reapply annually; grants typically remain consistent unless financial circumstances improve significantly
- NYA meets the demonstrated financial need for families up to 80% of tuition.
Before starting the application, it is helpful to gather the following documents (some will need to be uploaded):
- Previous year’s federal tax return and all schedules (current year taxes due April 15 for verification)
- Current year W-2s and 1099s
- Most recent pay stub
- Debt statements (including mortgage)
- Supporting tax documents (for business income/loss)
- Checking, savings, investment, and retirement account statements
Value of other assets (cars, real estate, boats, recreational vehicles, etc.)
- Returning Families: January 15 – deadline for priority consideration. Grant decisions included in re-enrollment contracts (early February).
- New Families: February 1 – priority deadline. Grant decisions shared with admission decisions.
Applications received after these deadlines are reviewed as funds and space allow.
- NYA FA grants are not loans and do not need to be repaid.
- “Applicant” and “Co-Applicant” refer to parents/guardians.
- The application requests an SSN, but NYA does not require this—families may enter a placeholder.
- In two-household families, each parent must submit a separate application.
- Newly accepted students receive their FA decision with their admission decision in early March.
- Returning families who meet the deadline receive decisions during the re-enrollment process in early February.
- Families must re-apply annually. Grants generally remain stable unless circumstances change significantly.
