The mission of the North Texas Dance Scholarship Fund is to advance competitive dancesport through support for the next generation of dancers. We support rising high school seniors and college students in their pursuit of competitive Ballroom and Country dance opportunities.
Thousands of children and teens across North Texas enroll in a variety of dance programs each year. A predictable number leave their programs due to lack of interest and enjoyment. Students that continue into their teen years walk away from their training for many reasons, including extracurricular school programs, employment, dating, and other time pressures.
We aim to keep growing dancers in the sport through support for instructional, costuming, and competition expenses. We invite your personal and financial support of this mission.
Our Needs
Subject to funding, the North Texas Dance Scholarship desires to promote competitive dance opportunities for high school and college students. The financial commitment to accomplish this goal is $9,600 per student. This will provide 36 weeks of private instruction, required dance shoes and attire, and participation at up to four competitive events per year.
