Scholarships & Financial Aid
At School of Philadelphia Ballet, we are committed to fostering talent, diversity, and accessibility within our student body, as reflected through our scholarship program. We are proud to offer scholarships designed to support students who demonstrate exceptional talent or financial need, ensuring that opportunities for artistic growth are accessible to all. While our scholarship offerings are limited, we strive to assist as many deserving students as possible who meet our criteria.
Merit scholarships are available for School of Philadelphia Ballet’s Student Programs and Professional Programs and are awarded to dancers who demonstrate exceptional talent through audition. Merit scholarships for current students are considered during the year-end evaluation period.
Financial Aid applications for the 2024-25 School Year are open from June 1, 2024 – August 5, 2024.
Financial need scholarships are determined through an assessment conducted by a third-party organization (TADs). Dancers enrolling in the Children’s Program, Student Program, and Professional Program are encouraged to apply. Financial Aid applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Awards will be distributed no later than August 15, 2024. Financial Aid applications submitted after August 5, 2024, will be reviewed on a rolling basis and may not be reviewed until the start of the term. Financial Aid awards are non-retroactive and will be applied to tuition payments only.
Financial Aid applications are not considered until the student has registered for the 2024-25 School Year through the Parent Portal. Financial assistance does not apply to summer programming and does not automatically renew for the following school year. A non-refundable application fee of $55.00 is due upon submission to TADs.
