TUITION and ATTIRE

Currently, SVYC offers two sessions a season, Fall Session in Lewisburg and Spring Session in Selinsgrove. Singers may sing one session or two per season.

  1. Tuition per session is $90.00.
    • Upon acceptance, new singers are asked to return forms and payment to the next rehearsal or send the Tuition Form received at the audition along with a check made payable to “SVC” to: Coleen Renshaw, 110 S. Shuman St., Middleburg, PA 17842.
    • Please mark the check with a memo stating your child’s name and SVYC.  Please return no later than the first rehearsal.
    • The season attire rental fee of $10.00 covers the rental of required uniform attire. Families have the choice of buying and owning their own approved attire (girl’s full length dress – $85; boy’s selected pants, shirt and tie – $60) or renting attire from the Susquehanna Valley Youth Chorale. All singers will be measured at auditions.
  2. This amount can be paid in two installments if necessary and if indicated by you on the Tuition Form. The first installment will be due at the first rehearsal. Total payment must be received no later than one month before the concert to ensure that the singer may perform.
  3. TWO SESSION DISCOUNT – If a singer participates in both fall and winter sessions, tuition for the spring season (Jan.-Apr.) is discounted to $80.00.
  4. SIBLING DISCOUNTS – We offer a $5 off per sibling discount for those who have multiple children in our program.
  5. **For every new singer accepted and joining the SVYC who is recruited by a current singer, the recruiting family will earn a $5 credit towards their own tuition.

SCHOLARSHIP

1. Limited scholarship help may be available. Forms for scholarship aid will be available at the audition.

2. Every family requesting help is required to provide at least $25 per singer towards the tuition fee per season which must be paid by the 3rd rehearsal to ensure the singer may perform.

3. Each parent requesting help will be contacted by phone to discuss the amount of tuition they can provide. Parents are expected to fulfill agreed upon tuition.
