SCHOLARSHIPS
 

Brighton Ballet Theater is especially dedicated to identifying gifted children and helping them access the financial support they need to pursue a valuable and fulfilling dance education. For all these reasons, Brighton Ballet Theater is pleased to offer a limited number of full and partial tuition scholarships, awarded according to two categories:

Financial need
Merit (including class performance and potential for a professional career).

Depending on the type of scholarship and its funding source, additional document requirements may apply. The scholarship award letter and contract will provide recipients with any such conditions.

Scholarships do not cover periods exceeding three months, but students can reapply after their scholarship term ends.

Families interested in scholarships must submit a scholarship application online and a copy of their most recent income tax return submitted to the IRS. Merit scholarship applicants do not need to include tax returns. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and Brighton Ballet Theater’s Scholarship Committee will promptly review this information for the school year under consideration. All applications and financial information will be kept confidential.

Description of BBT Scholarships

 

Financial-Based Scholarship: Students ages 2-21 are eligible for partial or complete financial-based scholarships. BBT is committed to ensuring that every student who wants to dance is allowed to dance, and we make every effort to give students partial or complete scholarships. If a student is selected for this scholarship, they must agree to attend all scheduled classes and participate in all school-term BBT performances.

Merit-Based Scholarship: Students ages 7-21 are eligible for a merit-based partial or full scholarship for the advanced division. To be considered for this scholarship, students must undergo an audition. If selected, students must agree to attend all scheduled classes and participate in all school-term BBT performances.
