Dance Scholarships
Dance scholarships are awarded based on an audition and the recommendation of the
Dance faculty to outstanding first-year students planning to major in dance. These
annual scholarships range from $1,000 to $5,000, with a potential value totaling a
maximum of $4,000 to $20,000.
Dance scholarships are applied to the student's account by semester (at 1/2 the annual
value) and cannot be combined with a Tuition Exchange, or a Tuition Remission benefit
from Goucher College. Dance scholarships will be renewed automatically provided students
maintain full-time enrollment as a dance major in good academic standing until graduation
or a maximum of eight semesters, whichever comes first.
Selected applicants will be invited to campus to participate in the scholarship audition on Sunday, February, 23, 2020.
