Pirouette Scholarship Applications

For those of you that don’t know, Pirouette began a scholarship fund after celebrating our 10 year anniversary back in 2018. Each year, we award a few dancers funds from the scholarship account to be used for tuition and/or costumes. This past season, we were happy to have two students on scholarship! Despite the financial hardship Covid-19 brought to the studio, we still have our scholarship account open and ready to serve more dancers in need. If your child, or another Pirouette dancer you know could potentially benefit from our scholarship, we ask that you kindly use the link below and fill out our Scholarship Application. We will do our best to grant as many students as possible per the funds available. Dancers selected for the scholarship will remain anonymous. This was an incredible gift given by our dance family and we want to continue its legacy for dancers in need. Please take this into consideration when applying. DEADLINE TO APPLY IS JUNE 20th!
