Financial Assistance

Community Fundraising
Students are encouraged to seek support from small businesses, community service organizations, corporations and associations. For guidance in community fundraising, please consult the program-specific Tuition and Financial Assistance page for a link to the NYLF Student Fundraising Guide.

Scholarship Fund
To offset the cost of tuition, the National Youth Leadership Forum (NYLF) has established a scholarship fund to assist youth who wish to participate in the program. However, because scholarship funds are limited and demand is extremely high, a variety of factors are considered in the allotment of aid. The primary consideration is financial need, followed by academic merit and student involvement in extracurricular and volunteer activities. Underrepresented minorities are encouraged to apply. You may download a scholarship application from the program-specific Tuition and Financial Assistance page.
