Circus Juventas strives to make classes accessible to all. Circus Juventas’ scholarship program offers a youth class tuition discount to students who demonstrate financial need or have financial circumstances that make participating in the CJ program challenging.

Financial Aid is only available for our youth program classes. Scholarships are NOT applicable for the following:
Volunteer Requirement
All families are encouraged to work at least four volunteer shifts over the course of the CJ year, including gala, holiday show, spring shows, and summer shows, as well as any other volunteer opportunities that arise throughout the year. Shifts can be distributed between events and can be split among friends and family members.
Scholarship Selection Criteria and Expectations
Students will be selected for scholarships based on financial need, the student’s written statement, course availability, and availability of funds. Students returning to the scholarship program will also be evaluated on the fulfillment of the volunteer requirement, class attendance, and their personal conduct while receiving Circus Juventas’ funds. We expect all scholarship recipients to conduct themselves in a way that is in accordance with Circus Juventas values and supportive of our organization, fellow students, and our community at large.
Scholarship recipients age 14 and over are also eligible for the Work-Study Leadership Program and are encouraged to apply. Please visit the Work-Study page on our website for more information. Work-study and scholarship cannot combine to exceed the cost of tuition. If work-study and scholarship combine to exceed your total bill, your scholarship will be adjusted down to reflect a 100% tuition coverage for the session and the additional balance will be lost.
All scholarship applicants will be notified via email whether they were accepted into the scholarship program as soon as possible after the scholarship application submission deadline. Any questions may be directed to adminstaff@circusjuventas.org.

Q: Please explain the special financial circumstances regarding the need for financial aid (to be filled out by parent/guardian).
Q: Please explain why you would like to take Circus Juventas classes and how you believe circus classes would help you at school or at home (to be filled out by the student(s)).
