Now that you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and hit the shop floor, it’s time to take that next step in making an IYRS education your reality. 

1. Apply
A complete application includes the following components:

• Complete Admissions application here.
• Current resume
• Official educational transcript (high school or college)
• 2 references or letters of recommendation (work or academic references only) 

2. Complete an Admissions Interview

All applicants must complete an Admissions interview. We want you to be a successful IYRS student and the interview is a required step in that process.

3. Complete the FAFSA 

You must fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Student Financial Aid) to be eligible for financial aid from the federal government and/or from IYRS. When filling out the form, select IYRS as an institution (school code: 037323). If you do not submit a completed FAFSA, you cannot be awarded funding.

US Veterans should contact Jill Dubnansky, Student Services Manager, before filling out these forms to understand how awards might affect your Veteran's benefits.

4. Complete the IYRS Scholarship Application 

To be considered for scholarships and grants that are funded by IYRS, you must complete both the FAFSA and the IYRS Scholarship Application. Approximately 70% of students receive scholarships and grants from IYRS.

5. Sign Your Enrollment Agreement

Once you have been accepted, you will receive an acceptance letter and an Enrollment Agreement from IYRS. The Enrollment Agreement must be signed and returned. If you have completed the FAFSA and/or the IYRS Scholarship/Grant Application, you will also receive a Financial Aid Summary from IYRS showing all financial awards.
