50% of Annual Tuition fees

• Score 100 or above on UNYP’s institutional English language test or 250 on the TOEFL computer-based test (CBT) or 100 on the TOEFL internet-based test (IBT) or IELTS 8, and score 22 or above on the UNYP math test
• Alternatively, score 700 or above on both of the SAT Math and English tests

30% of Annual Tuition fees

• Score 92 or above on UNYP’s institutional English language test or 237 on the TOEFL computer-based test (CBT) or 92 on the TOEFL internet-based test (IBT) or IELTS 7, and score 20 or above on the UNYP math test
• Alternatively, score 650 or above on both of the SAT Math and English tests

This replaces the “Demonstrate excellent high school results (top 20% bracket)” criteria in the scholarship requirements; the rest of the requirements remain the same.

These plans include a small installment fee, calculated as a percentage of the remaining tuition—2% for daily programs and 3% for weekend programs. Payment plans are available for all UNYP study programs.
