AYA Financial Aid Policy & Procedures
It has always been AYA's policy to not turn away students solely financial reasons. AYA will try to find ways to ensure that students can attend if they meet all other admission criteria.
Procedure for Requesting and Getting Financial Aid
Notes:
1. Awards will normally not be more than 50% of the tuition amount.
2. Awards will be given based on the amount of money collected from the community for sponsorships. Once this amount is exhausted, financial aid can no longer be awarded.

School Readiness Program (PreSchool + After Care)
AYA’s K3 through K4 programs are licensed by Hillsborough County Childcare Licensing and are eligible for funding through the School Readiness Program. More information is available through the Registrar’s Office.
Child Care Resource and Referral (CCR&R) provides families with comprehensive information and customized referrals for all school readiness and early care and education programs. All referrals are unbiased, computer generated and based on individual family circumstances and preferences, without regard to family income. One of the most important and difficult decisions for families is choosing an arrangement that best meets their needs. CCR&R is committed to helping families find answers to their questions regarding how to locate, choose and use quality services, access financial assistance, and other early childhood and education concerns. Eligibility for financial assistance for the early childhood program can be determined by Child Care Resource and Referral. A sliding fee schedule is used to determine the parent's portion of payment based on income. Services are provided to children from infancy through age 10.
For more information, please see the AYA registrar.
