Interested families should submit an application as described below.

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

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)).
