MERIT SCHOLARSHIPS & TUITION ASSISTANCE
For over fifty years, Ballet Hispánico has provided opportunities to dancers of all backgrounds. Our school continues to offer two types of awards: merit scholarships and needs-based tuition assistance.
TUITION ASSISTANCE
Tuition assistance is available for students in the Los Pasitos Early Childhood Program, Encuentros Open Program, and La Academia Pre-Professional Program. We determine a candidate's eligibility based on a family’s adjusted gross income from the previous year's federal taxes and number of dependents. In the application, families may also share additional circumstances that affect their financial situation for consideration. This information allows us to assess the percentage of tuition support your child may receive. Student conduct, preparedness, lateness and/or absences, and overall performance within the School of Dance are taken into consideration when renewing your tuition assistance.

MERIT SCHOLARSHIPS
Each year, a limited number of full and partial merit scholarships are awarded to students with outstanding artistic potential, work ethic, and commitment to their dance studies. All dancers auditioning for any of our programs are automatically considered for merit scholarships. Returning students in non-audition based programs are automatically considered based on teacher recommendation. New students in non-audition based programs are not eligible unless they participate in an audition. Scholarships are awarded for summer and year-round programs. If you are selected to recieve a merit scholarship of any kind you will be notified via email.
