Discover Dance Tuition Assistance Application

Summer Tuition Assistance Application
Summer Tuition Assistance awards are based on financial need as well as merit. Awards require 1 work hour per $50 scholarship for the term and must be completed by the end of the term.
Tuition Assistance Recipient Responsibilities

As a requirement of the assistance program, recipients are required to assist Northern Plains Dance for a specific number of hours for term, based on the amount that is awarded. Parents or guardians of these students may carry out the assistance hours for their child. At the start of the session, recepients must sign up for assistance hours. Assistance hours will need to be completed under this timeframe unless otherwise scheduled by the Director.

Failure to complete assistance hours will result in the Recipient losing the opportunity to apply for Tuition Assistance in the future. If there are extenuating circumstances in which it is impossible to complete the hours available through the Tuition Assistance Hours Form, it is required to send an email to johnson@northernplainsdance.org to explain the situation and find a suitable solution.
