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, costumes, or other dance related expenses. This past season, we were happy to have multiple students on scholarship and awarded over $4000! 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.
