Scholarship Information

All students who apply along with their official high school transcript, are automatically considered for merit scholarship if admitted.

Test scores are not required for consideration. To maintain a scholarship, students must be in good academic standing. They are renewable and awarded up to eight semesters.

As a Maryland Scholar, a Goucher education is made accessible to eligible first-generation Maryland residents from historically underrepresented populations.

Maryland Scholars

Our Dance Scholarships are awarded based on submission of a dance scholarship application, an audition (either in-person or video recording)*, and the recommendation of the Dance faculty. All first-year applicants planning to major in dance are eligible to audition.

These annual scholarships range from $1,000 to $5,000, with a potential value totaling a maximum of $4,000 to $20,000, and are awarded in addition to any other merit scholarship for which the student qualifies. (Scholarships cannot be combined with a Tuition Exchange, or a Tuition Remission benefit from Goucher College.) 

Dance scholarships are renewed automatically each year 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.

*Audition Options and Details – All First-Year Applicants
While the Dance faculty believe it is advantageous to meet you in person for your audition, we understand it might not be possible for everyone. If you cannot attend the audition on campus, we do provide a video submission option.
