How to Apply

Applying For Scholarship

The Professional Arts Education Center Scholarship Program was developed to train
students who wish to pursue a career in the performing arts and who show particular
promise but might not be able to afford the cost of an intensive training program.
Applicants must be ages 10 and up. A panel of professional instructors will evaluate
the technical level and potential of each applicant.
There are full and partial scholarships available. (Full scholarships pay complete
tuition for the classes granted. Partial scholarships provide only a part of the tuition for
classes granted.)
Term: While training schedules are customized for each recipient, the scholarships begin
approximately May 2021 and continue through August 2021.
