Financing your Year On
Our Fellows come from all types of socioeconomic backgrounds, and we aim to ensure access for all of them. To do this, we provide financial assistance for families who cannot afford the full Year On tuition amount.
To apply for Year On financial assistance, simply complete the application for admission and submit your FAFSA results (also called the Student Aid Report) to admissions@yearon.com. You can fill out the FAFSA form at fafsa.ed.gov. We require no additional forms, which keeps the process as simple as possible.
No FAFSA?
International applicants and those who do not wish to fill out the FAFSA form may submit a statement describing their financial circumstances.
Submissions can be made at admissions@yearon.com.

Payment Options
Flexible Payment Program
In addition to financial assistance, we offer a flexible payment program for families who wish to extend their payments over time. Admitted Fellows interested in our flexible payment plan should contact admissions directly.
