Bree Eriksen Memorial Dance Award

Open to students registered in grade 12 who are completing the requirements of a high school diploma and have achieved academic marks sufficient for entrance to a post-secondary area of study. Applicants must have demonstrated academic progress and have a minimum 75% GPA in grade 12. Applicants are required to submit an original essay, of approximately 500 words. The essay should reflect on: Why you are choosing dance as a field of study? and What you are hoping to accomplish by getting accreditation? Applicants are also asked to submit a video clip(s) up to 5 minutes in total length that includes a minimum of two genres of dance. Videos can be professional or amateur (i.e. cell phone videos are acceptable). Applicants are required to submit one letter of reference from a dance instructor. International fee-paying students are not eligible to apply for this award. Selection will be based on the essay, video, academics and references. Preference will be given to students pursuing post-secondary studies in dance (as a major or minor).

You can apply by creating an account in our Student Award Application Portal. Applicants should check with their guidance office for more information and are encouraged to discuss their application with the Scholarship Coordinator at their high school.
