The Art of Wellness Scholarship
The Art of Wellness Scholarship helps expand access to dance and movement-based arts for youth and adults in our community.
Through this scholarship, the Dare to Create Foundation for the Arts provides tuition assistance for training at Micaiah’s Studio of Ballet, helping students participate in creative movement, build confidence, and improve physical and emotional well-being through the performing arts.
The scholarship currently provides 25% tuition assistance for eligible participants, helping families access dance training opportunities that may otherwise be financially out of reach.
Our goal is to support families across a wide range of financial circumstances. While some applicants may qualify through traditional financial assistance programs, many middle-income families also experience financial barriers when it comes to participating in arts education. This scholarship is designed to help make dance training more accessible for those families as well.
Scholarships are awarded based on financial need, commitment to participation, and available funding.
Eligibility
Applicants may qualify for the Art of Wellness Scholarship in several ways. Some families may choose to provide documentation of financial assistance programs, while others may simply describe their financial circumstances through the application process.
Examples of qualifying situations may include:
• Participation in Free or Reduced Lunch programs
• Utility or housing assistance
• Child Care Assistance
• Social services programs (SSI, SSDI, SNAP, TANF, WIC, etc.)
• Other forms of financial assistance
• Families experiencing financial hardship or limited discretionary income
• Middle-income families who may not qualify for assistance programs but still face barriers to participating in arts training
Providing documentation is optional in many cases and helps the foundation better understand community needs and allocate scholarship funding responsibly.
