Begin your IYRS experience today.
IYRS programs are small by design. IYRS offers rolling admissions and we suggest that you apply as early as possible for your desired program and term. As programs fill, applicants will be assigned to a waitlist or may defer to a future term. Scholarships and grants are available to all qualified students and are awarded on a first come, first served basis.
The application process
We are thrilled you may be considering IYRS School of Technology & Trades as a next step toward your future. Our application steps are detailed below. We look forward to getting to know you!
1. Say hello
Our admissions team is here to help you through the entire process. Send us a message to introduce yourself, and let us know if you have any questions. You can set up a chat with admissions, request a tour or email Admissions at admissions@iyrs.edu.
2. Create your account and apply
