  • •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ELIGIBILITY: Scholarships are based on a combined evaluation of financial need as well as demonstrated potential for success as a future professional dancer and meet the following: •ages 8 – 21 (at the time of application) •an intermediate or advanced dancer – this means that a dancer has had at least two years of consistent technical training and takes a minimum of three hours of ballet per week •Applications are evaluated on combined financial need and merit •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• APPLY ONLINE BY FEBRUARY 1 franciscogelladance.com/scholarships/ •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ABOUT THE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM The Francisco Gella Dance Works (FGDW) Equity Scholarship Program is based on the belief that when given an opportunity to learn and do what they love, every student with motivation can succeed. Therefore every student deserves at least one chance to try. But we are fully aware that not every student has the financial means or support to participate in training and educational dance programs that will give them access to the information they need in pursuit of their goals. To level the playing field of opportunity and identify talent, FGDW offers financial support through full and partial tuition scholarships to eligible applicants for all of its intensives and workshops. ___ Too often, only students who already attend intensives and conventions, and who can afford to be ‘seen’ and recognized are the ones to benefit from the very opportunities that propel dancers into the best schools, colleges, and jobs. Those who can afford to attend dance training programs are frequently the ones who benefit the most. The FGDW Equity Scholarship Program is an effort to decrease the likelihood that inherent bias will keep any talented and hard-working student from accessing resources to achieve what is possible for themselves. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #franciscogelladance #dance #ballet #education #moderndance
