Thank you for your interest in EYF.   

Before you apply, please check to see if you meet the three eligibility criteria below:

  • You will be a high school junior or senior in fall 2009.

  • You have a hearing loss. To be eligible for admission to EYF, a student must possess a severe to profound hearing loss in both ears. Specifically, a student must demonstrate significant hearing loss, across the 500 to 2000 Hz range in each ear as this is the population of deaf and hard-of-hearing students that NTID and the EYF program were established to serve.
