Junior Division Scholarship Program

The Junior Division Scholarship Program is a training program for high school students between the ages of 15 and 17 who show the highest potential for a career in dance. This prestigious program provides financial assistance to gifted intermediate and advanced level high school students who attend part-time during the school year and full-time during the summer. Scholarship students also have the opportunity to gain a variety of administrative skills by working in The Ailey School or Alvin Ailey Dance Foundation offices in exchange for their Scholarships.
 

Admission Procedure

Scholarships are awarded by audition at The Ailey School in the fall term (for the academic year), the spring term, (for one semester), and the summer (for the Summer Intensive).  Scholarship support may be extended for as long as five years for those who enroll while still in high school. Scholarship awards cover the cost of tuition alone. Registration fees, participation fees and housing costs are the responsibility of the recipient.
 
Students must re-audition annually if they wish to continue their enrollment in the Scholarship Program.
