Hi! So I'm a high school junior who's been dancing for a while, and I'm looking into potential scholarships for college in 2024 related to dance. I'm trying to plan ahead and get an idea of what's out there since I definitely want to continue dancing in some capacity when I go to college. Does anyone know of any dance scholarships I should consider? Any help would be awesome, thanks!
There are quite a number of scholarships out there specifically designed for students interested in dance. Here are a few key ones you might want to look into:
1. National YoungArts Foundation - Offers weekly cash prizes for talented young artists in different disciplines including dance.
2. Princess Grace Award - This program is for college seniors at accredited, non-profit schools in the U.S. who are majoring in dance or theater.
3. Caroline H. Newhouse Scholarship Fund - Specifically open to dancers transitioning to a new career.
4. Dizzy Feet Foundation Scholarship - Offers scholarships to students studying at accredited dance schools, studios, universities, and institutions.
5. Joffrey Ballet School Scholarships - They do offer a variety of scholarships for aspiring dancers.
You can research more scholarships on Appily, which is a free scholarship database. Also, it would be wise to look at potential colleges or universities you're interested in. They might offer dance scholarships that are specific to their institution. Keep in mind that even after you sit down and compile a list of scholarships, you’ll still need to check the requirements for each one. It's important to do this sooner rather than later since some scholarships have early deadlines. Good luck with your college and dance journey.
