T.U.P.A.C offers tuition assistance and scholarships, as funds are available, to make tuition affordable for more families. Scholarships can range from 20% - 100% assistance.
Our scholarship application is open on a rolling basis throughout the year. Families may apply for financial aid for any level of ballet.
After Submitting your application, we will reach out to you to discuss further. Depending on the award, tuition assistance and scholarships can be applied to tuition and/or dance-related expenses such as purchasing leotards, tights, or pointe shoes.
Scholarship students agree not to study at any other school and not to attend auditions or to accept any amateur or professional performing engagements without the official approval of the School’s Director. T.U.P.A.C. requires scholarship students to have excellent attendance, good behavior, and satisfactory grades.
Students receiving tuition assistance, as well as their parents, are expected to participate in volunteer opportunities throughout the year. These opportunities may come in the form of chaperoning an event, joining a committee, helping backstage during a production. As a community-based school, we always welcome helping hands in a variety of areas.
