KYP credits are transferable to any other class or program for a period of one year from the completion of the withdrawal. The transferred credits can also be used by any members of the same family. If a participant wishes to withdraw from any class or program they will be entitled to a credit or refund on the following basis: If withdrawal is completed before the start of the first class, a NT$500 processing fee will be deducted from the program cost, and the remainder will be refunded. After the start of the first class, no refunds will be issued. A KYP class credit will be issued instead. After the third class there will be no credits or schedule changes allowed. Registration fees are non-refundable.
Financial Aid
KYP will not turn a child away from participating in its programs due
to an inability to pay for a program or activity fee. Partial or
full sponsorships are available based on individual need. Sponsorships
are made possible by contributions from community organizations such as
Lighthouse Rotary and individuals.
