  3. Payment is required at time of CLUB Registration. The date that the registration form and payment is received determines the cost. Clubs will usually commit to sponsoring a student or multiple students BEFORE making selections and having specific Student information available.  (By handling it in this way, the RYLA committee can work on plans and logistics, based on number of registrations received, BEFORE students are identified and completely registered. This also allows later focus on Student Registration – which is a large & complicated process.)
  4. Once we receive registrations and payment from a CLUB for RYLA 2024, the club will still need to register the specific student(s) being sponsored.  It is the club’s responsibility to make sure students are registered.

Please contact Leslie Mattingly as soon as possible if your club decides not to participate in RYLA after registering or if a student cancels and the club wishes to substitute a student. Beginning March 1, 2024 no refunds will be granted, however clubs may still substitute a student until April 30,2024. This refund & substitution policy will be strictly enforced.
  8. For Parents & Students, it is your responsibility to inform your Rotary sponsor if you/your child can no longer attend. No refund will be issued if a student cancels after March 1, 2024.
