Scholarships

It’s your time to shine

Recognizing tenacity, talent, and grace.

ASF has helped deserving dancers rise above challenging circumstances to pursue their artistic training and education. From tuition to travel or expenses to experiences, our financial support makes the difference between sitting on the sidelines and realizing a dream.

Where there is art, there is hope.

What makes our scholars stand out? In addition to demonstrating both exceptional need and talent, they exude hope for a brighter future that only art can create. Learn more about our selection process below.

Due to the number of scholarship applications, you will be notified ONLY if you are selected.

Dancers must demonstrate outstanding merit, financial need & should be in a pre-professional program–though we’ve made a few exceptions for dancers with extraordinary talent! All styles of dance are welcome.

Dancer and parent/guardian contact information, dance school attended, financial assistance needed, a recent headshot, a full body shot, a link to a dance video, and an essay describing a challenging circumstance in your life and how you hope to overcome it, as well as something unique about you, your talent, and your dream to shine.
