Many students receive financial assistance, either through a single scholarship or a combination of awards. Students are encouraged to begin working with TCU’s Financial Aid office as soon as they are admitted to SCCD and TCU.

Talent-Based Performance Scholarships

Several endowed scholarships from generous individuals and organizations have been given to SCCD to attract talented students and to support current students. These scholarships are talent-based and may be combined with other forms of scholarship and/or financial aid.

Awards are generally renewable for a total of eight semesters or upon graduation from SCCD, whichever occurs first. Each award stipulates varying renewal requirements.

On occasion and when available, dance performance awards and/or dance admission offers may be made at select college audition festivals and conferences (for example, National High School Dance Festival, New York City Dance Alliance, etc.).
