Applying for a scholarship?
Limited financial-need based scholarships are available for all C.R.O.W. classes and workshops. In general, we can only award ONE scholarship per student, per session. Priority is placed upon new families and those with the greatest financial need. Scholarship awards are typically in full or half scholarship amounts.
NOTE: Available scholarships are dependent on paid enrollment numbers. So, while we wish we could award everyone full scholarships every time, we do still have to pay our teachers, pay insurance costs, and keep the lights on. Our classes cost approximately 50% less than classes at other similar non-profit programs.
Please follow these steps to apply for a scholarship:
1) Sign up for class(es) on Dance Studio Pro FIRST. This allows us to process requests easily. CLICK HERE.
2) Submit a separate scholarship application. CLICK HERE.
3) You will be notified of scholarship awards by email. At that time, you may drop a class (if needed) or arrange a payment plan.
