Ballet Scholarships
Helping students achieve their dreams.
Creating Opportunity
Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet offers three ballet scholarship programs to help students make their dreams come true. Both full and partial tuition scholarships are awarded to students on a need and merit basis.
Our scholarships for dancers are funded through annual donor support and CPYB fundraising events.
