Scholarships

We are thrilled to unveil a brand new opportunity for dancers at our upcoming Jewels Festival! As in our previous editions, partner schools will be awarding scholarships to participating dancers.  This season we are giving dancers the chance to take an active role in the decision process!

Prior to the competition, dancers will be asked to rank the top 2 scholarships that they are most interested in being considered for. Scholarships will then be matched based on these preferences. If a dancer ranks highly for a particular school and there is mutual interest, they will be awarded the scholarship for that school.

This new way of awarding scholarships, unique to our competition, ensures that dancers will receive scholarships from the schools they are most interested in, offering them opportunities that align with their career and training goals.

Please see below for the current list of participating schools. (The list will be updated with more opportunities as we get closer to the competition date)
