Student Assistance

The Student Assistance Fund is to assist students from ages 6-22 with school fees (sports, cheerleading, clubs, books, etc.), college tours (juniors and senior students only), dental work or glasses.

We can provide assistance up to $50 per academic school year, per registered and active SLYC student. An Inactive/non-SLYC student may be able to receive assistance up to $25, per academic school year if funds are available.

An active SLYC student is one who attends and participate in our classes/events via in-person or online 70% of the time (15 classes/events  per year). If online, the student must have camera on and participating, enter their name and contact information in the chat box.

Young adults who are in vocational school or college must submit the request for assistance on their own.

To request assistance, you must submit the following information to:
