Scholarship 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 are need-based, and are offered 2 times a year. For the Fall semester (September to December) and Spring semester (January to May). 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!

Over $780,000 of scholarships have been awarded sines our inception!

With your support, we hope to serve the same number of students through our 2024-2025 fiscal year and hope to expand our Scholarship Program for our fiscal year 2025-2026! With your support we want to award a total of 150 dance scholarships in Santa Barbara County.
