SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

Scholarship applications are ONLY accepted during the FALL and SUMMER session registration processes. 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.

The bulk of the paperwork needs to be submitted by the parent, but we do ask that the student answer a few questions as a part of the application form.

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.

In addition to the application form, families should submit the first page of their most recent 1040 US Tax Form. The registration fee should also be submitted (per student, not per family). Additional forms, such as certificates for free hot 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.

Scholarship applications are taken during fall and summer session registration period only. While the registration process is done online, the scholarship application process is done via hard copy form. The online registration process should be completed before submitting the scholarship paperwork.

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

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