Bravo Scholarship for Outside Summer Dance Intensives 2018
Date to be turned in: Feb. 2, 2018 by 5pm
Drawing Date: The week of Feb. 4, 2018

Who is eligible? All students of Angie Hahn's Academy of Dance who will be eleven years old or older by December 1, 2017 who plan to attend a summer dance intensive outside of the studio. You do not need to be the best dancer in your class to qualify. In fact; effort, attendance and a neat appearance are just as important as technical competence. Students will not be eligible to receive a scholarship two years in a row. Please read application thoroughly as information and requirements have changed from past applications.

What types of "Summer Dance Intensives" are considered? We will consider a summer program that focuses on dance and costs at least $400. The program must run consecutively and be at least 1 week.  Prior to applying, If you have a place in mind, let us know and we will consider it. Commonly attended programs include: Cecchetti Coucil of America’s Summer Intensive at Hope College, Grand Rapids Ballet, Joffrey Ballet, and ABT’s Summer Intensive. You do not need to be certain of where you will attend at the time of the application, but use of scholarship funds must be approved by deadline.  

The BRAVO Tuition assistance Scholarship is awarded to individual dancers and may be used toward the cost of tuition to a BRAVO approved dance camp or intensive. The intent of the scholarship is to defray the cost of the more rigorous and expensive dance experiences, therefore individual scholarships are not to be used to cover the cost of more than one tuition. The maximum pay out for tuition not to exceed $400.00, any amount over this must be paid by the individual. BRAVO will not issue a check to cover more than one intensive and the intensive must be at least 1 consecutive week in length. In the event the balance of the tuition is less than $400.00, the amount of scholarship awarded will be the cost of the tuition and the remainder of the $400.00 will be forfeited.

How many scholarships will be given and in what amounts? To be determined (Based on Nutcracker ticket sales and previous Basket Raffle profits) $400 scholarships will be awarded.
How will scholarship recipients be determined? Student turning in completed applications by the deadline will be entered into a drawing. Scholarships will be awarded based on a random drawing from all qualified applicants.
