Scholarship Assistance is available through the Community Arts Mentoring Program (Project CAMP) which is a 501c3 non-profit sister agency of CWOD. Project CAMP will provide services to any youth, or family who desires to be a member, or participate in programs, of the CWOD. All participants receive the same benefits regardless of their ability to pay the prescribed membership and/or program fee.
Please read this before applying:
1) Scholarships do NOT cover any portion of registration fees, recital fees, or costume fees. In other words, you will need to be able to cover those fees on your own. If you are unable to do so, we recommend finding an outside sponsor (such as a friend or family member) who will agree to pay those fees, or you can partucipate in fundraiseres.
2) Scholarships cover a portion of dance class tuition ranging from 25% to 100%. The portion is completely variable, depending on the unique situation. If you are awarded a partial scholarship, you will still be responsible for your reduced tuition rate, just like any regular student.
3) Only one scholarship application is needed per family. The application includes all participating family members.
4) This is a private program. There are many factors which may affect the availability of scholarships. Not everyone who applies will receive a scholarship.
