Tuition Assistance Application

Tuition Assistance Program Application

Fall 2026 Season
Our Tuition Assistance Program is designed to support families experiencing financial challenges, by offering reduced class fees. Assistance is based on a variety of factors, not just financial need. Please note that submitting an application does not guarantee funding. Support may be granted in part or in full, and Tuition Assistance families are required to participate in supporting roles at the studio (please see below Tuition Assistance hours Trade Program). Successful recipients will be contacted mid-season to review any changes in circumstances to ensure The Tuition Assistance Program continues to best support each family. Families who receive Tuition Assistance are fully integrated into all classes, as we believe every dancer is equal within our studio community.
