Tuition & financial aid

Student tuition doesn’t even cover half of the operating expenses of our Youth Orchestra program. Thanks to private donors and education grants, we are able to keep tuition costs for students as low as possible.

The McKenna A Miller Musician Sponsorship Program is available to all Reno Phil Youth Orchestra students who need financial assistance via registration.

Tuition by ACH/debit (preferred), credit card, cash, or check is due at the time of music pick up each July.

Payment or auto-pay enrollment is required before music is given out or e-mailed.
