Scholarship/Financial Aid

 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.

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. 

How To Apply

To apply for tuition assistance for the upcoming school year, you will need to fill out a confidential financial application. We process our tuition assistance and scholarship applications through BeneFAQ  www.benefaq.com. There is a $35 application fee. To begin the application you will need to create a new account on the Benefaq webpage.

Our school is listed under Tacoma Urban Performing Art Center. Please contact our School Director at dmorton@tacomaupac.org if you need assistance. 

Application Review

Please give us 2-4 weeks to review your application. BeneFAQ reviews each family’s financial information. All information remains secure and confidential. T.U.P.A.C. staff will not see your detailed financial information.  After review, BeneFAQ  will provide  us with an unbiased Family Anticipated Contribution Total (FACT) report, which will be used to help determine potential aid/scholarship awards. If you have not received information about your award after 4 weeks, please reach out to the School Director at dmorton@tacomaupac.org
