SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

Circus Juventas strives to make classes accessible to all. Circus Juventas’ scholarship program offers a discount to students who demonstrate financial need or have special financial circumstances that make participating in the CJ program challenging. Interested students/families should submit an application as described below.

Scholarships are not applicable to registration fees, preschool & kinder classes, costumes, adult classes, workshops, private lessons, or summer camps.

More information below. Contact us with questions: adminstaff@circusjuventas.org.

SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION

Eligible to students enrolled in the youth program only.

Scholarship applications will not open for Summer 2023. The next chance to apply for a scholarship will be prior to Fall session 2023. 

More information will be available mid-summer.

SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS ARE ONLY ACCEPTED BEFORE THE FALL AND SUMMER SESSIONS. If an award is granted in the fall session, those awards will carry through for the winter, spring, and summer sessions. Scholarship recipient awards will be reviewed prior to the 2023 summer session in case any adjustments need to be made, but current scholarship recipients do not need to re-apply.  Scholarships are non-transferable to other students, including other family members.

Questions regarding the scholarship program or the application process can be sent to adminstaff@circusjuventas.org.

Financial Aid is only available for our youth program classes. Scholarships are NOT applicable for the following:

  • Registration fees
  • Costumes
  • Workshops/Private lessons
  • Preschool or Kinder classes
  • Adult classes
  • Summer camps

 

 Volunteer Requirement

All awarded scholarship families will be required to work at least FOUR volunteer shifts over the course of our four major events each year (holiday shows, spring shows, summer shows, and annual gala) and any other volunteer opportunities that may arise throughout the year. Shifts can be distributed between these events (e.g. you could work one spring show shift, two summer show shifts, and the night of the gala to complete your required four shifts). Families joining the scholarship program for the first time in summer session are permitted to only work TWO shifts, if unable to fulfill all four in the shorter time frame. Shifts can be split among family members where one family member can work a spring show shift and a different family member can work a summer show shift. Failure to fulfill this requirement could affect future scholarship awards.

Scholarship Selection Criteria and Expectations

Students will be selected for scholarships based on financial need, the student’s description of their interest in the program, 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.

Scholarship Application Requirements

The following information is REQUIRED for your application to be considered:

  • This application form, filled out in its entirety by both the student(s) and parent.
  • The first two pages of parent/guardian(s)’ most recent 1040 US Tax Form (if you filed jointly please submit one copy; if you filed separately please submit a copy of each form). We cannot process your scholarship application without this form!

 

Application Tip

The final questions on the scholarship application form require written statements from both the student and the parent/guardian. It is advisable to begin the application process with answers to these questions pre-written as there is no way to save an application in process and return later. A preview of these questions is below:

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)).

COLLEGE DISCOUNT APPLICATION

Eligible to currently enrolled college students only.

The college discount application are now CLOSED. 

The college discount applications are only available before fall session and, if awarded, applies to the full academic year. Applicants must demonstrate acceptance into an accredited college or university and current/intended course list. Contact adminstaff@circusjuventas.org with any questions.

Are scholarships available year-round?

Scholarship applications are ONLY accepted before the FALL and SUMMER sessions. Students who apply for and receive scholarship assistance in the fall will have that assistance carry through the academic year (fall, winter, and spring sessions, plus the following summer session). New students who wish to take classes starting in winter or spring must wait until the summer session to apply for scholarship assistance.

Who fills out the scholarship paperwork?

The bulk of the paperwork needs to be submitted by the parent, but we do ask that the student answer the question, “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.” It can be helpful to have your student write the response to this question prior to beginning the online application. 

How are scholarship recipients notified of their award?

All applicants will be contacted via email, whether or not they are awarded a scholarship. Emails will be sent to the primary email on file, so it is important to provide this information as part of your application/registration.

What paperwork is required?

In addition to the application form, families should submit the first page of their most recent 1040 US Tax Form. Additional forms, such as certificates for Free or Reduced Lunch from the public school system and forms demonstrating state aid (disability, low-income health insurance, food stamps, etc.) can be included if it helps explain the need.

When should applications be submitted?

Scholarship applications are taken before the fall and summer sessions only. The online Google form and supporting tax documents must be submitted by the listed scholarship deadline.

How are scholarship awards applied?

Scholarship awards are applied to class fess in our youth program. Scholarship funds CANNOT be used for registration fees, costumes, workshops, private lessons, Toddler and Circus Kinder classes, adult classes, and summer camps.

Who is eligible for scholarship assistance?

Scholarships are available to families who demonstrate financial need and are registering for classes in the youth program.
