“Raise a Paddle”

Financial Aid and Faculty Support

During this unprecedented time, many from the NYA community have inquired about ways to help NYA and our families as we face challenges related to the COVID-19 health crisis. As a result of our changed circumstances, the most pressing needs of the Academy include:

• Meeting current and incoming families increased demand for need-based financial aid
• Ensuring faculty have the resources they need to be successful today and into the coming academic year

When you raise a paddle at the 2020 Soirée, you will ensure NYA can address these needs to the fullest extent possible. We thank you for raising a paddle and supporting NYA students, teachers, and families as we rally together to make a personal difference in the lives of deserving students, and by ensuring those who wish to benefit from a transformative NYA education are not left behind because of economic constraints.
