Discounts

Early Bird Discount – An additional 10% discount will be given to families who are able to pay in full by the deadline each semester.  The deadline in order to receive the additional discount is September 5 (1st semester) and January 5 (2nd semester).  Families that register for an entire semester of Primary Choir and pay by the deadline are also eligible for this discount.

Referral Credit – In addition, returning choristers are eligible for a $50 referral credit for recruiting new choristers to IYC. If a new student enrolls by the registration deadline and lists you as who referred them to IYC, your account will be credited $50.  A few rules and stipulations:

  • Students and families can recruit multiple new choristers for the referral credit, but your account will not be credited beyond $0.
  • To be designated as a returning chorister, one must have sung with IYC for at least one semester previous.  To be designated as a new chorister, one must have never sung with IYC before.

If you are interested in utilizing our Income Adjusted Tuition program, simply indicate this on your registration form. You will need to provide your annual household income and the number of people in your household. All financial information and personal circumstances shared with us will be kept confidential. An Iowa Youth Chorus representative will contact you to discuss options. Thank you!
