Dance Alliance is proud to announce TWO scholarship opportunities for participation in dance workshops, classes, or summer intensives. Applicants must be Dance Alliance members to apply. The Pat and Sven Peterson annual scholarship, open to ages in grades 7-sophomore year of college, will award up to $700 to assist students who will be attending a dance program during Summer 2023. The scholarship will be awarded based on the applicants’ past dance experience and potential to make a contribution in dance to the local dance community or field of dance in general. The new Community Outreach Scholarship is restricted to “underserved individuals or individuals with a disability” who “reside in Albany or Schenectady County”. Funds may used to pursue an opportunity in dance between June 2023 and April 2024. Applicants must be at least 14 years old and meet both criteria stated above. This scholarship is awarded on its potential to fulfill the applicant’ desire to participate in a dance experience, program, or workshop that will enrich their lives. The deadline for both scholarships is May 5, 2023. The application is available on the Dance Alliance website: www.dancealliance.org
