Dancers ages 9-18 who have been accepted to and have registered for a summer intensive program. The deadline to apply for this scholarship is May 31st, 2021.

The annual Brown Girls Do® Inc College Scholarship is a $1,000.00 scholarship awarded to full-time college undergraduate students across any field of study. Priority will be given to first-generation college students who demonstrate financial need. You don’t need to be a dancer to qualify for this scholarship! The deadline to apply is June 30th, 2021.

Still not sure if you should apply? Here’s a bit more insight on how a Brown Girls Do Ballet scholarship can help you.

A great way to develop your skills as a dancer is to enroll in professional lessons, attend seasonal intensive programs, and continue your academic education. You can enrich your experience in the dance industry by learning new techniques, gaining insight into a professional dance career, and building a dance network.

However, the costs associated with these things can be a deterrent for some dancers. That’s why the Brown Girls Do Ballet scholarships are aimed to provide additional financial support to dancers, covering costs such as tuition, pointe shoes, leotards, travel expenses, and more.

So, why haven’t you applied yet?
