It is our strong belief that admittance to the Institute for Young Dramatic Voices be based solely on merit and musical potential – regardless of ability to pay. Generous contributions from sponsors, donors, and foundations allow us to offer the summer program free of tuition to participants except for the Discovery and Introductory programs, which have a $500 tuition fee.

American Wagner Project

*Room and Board Fee is for those who choose to stay in dorms at University of Nevada Reno and includes a meal plan.  Participants may choose to find their own accommodations at a hotel or Air BNB. Those who do are responsible for their own daily transportation. Minors staying at the dorms are required to stay with an IYDV assigned chaperone OR they can stay with their parents and/or guardian(s) off campus.

** For participants who provide their own transportation you are responsible for purchasing a parking permit which is NOT included in the weekly rate.

*** Registration Fee – ALL participants regardless of where you stay (hotel, dorms, or Air BNB) are subject to a $500 registration fee to register for the summer program.  This is a flat fee.

*** Those paying with PayPal please add 3% (those paying within the US) and 4% (those outside the US) to the amount to cover PayPal Fees
