Scholarships & Mentorship Program

Our scholarship program is designed to support dancers of all levels and backgrounds. Whether they are beginners taking their first steps or advanced students aiming to pursue a professional career in dance, we are dedicated to providing the necessary financial assistance to help them thrive, heal, and live in Joy.

AMP's dance scholarships have two tracks, need-based and merit-based, and are offered 3 times a year. For the Fall semester (September to December), Spring semester (January to May), and Summer semester (June-August). The number of scholarships awarded is based on the amount of money raised through fundraising events, donors, and grants.

This year, we provided a total of 89 Dance Scholarships AND every scholarship recipient received Mentorship!
