The Shawl-Anderson Dance Center Stephanie Jacob Scholarship Fund is a need-based scholarship for adult dancers of all ages and levels.
This fund was established by Stephanie Jacob, a former SADC adult student, and is now supported in part by Ms. Jacob, the Bill Graham Memorial Foundation, and members of our extended community who share their love of dance with others through donations to the fund.
We ask that you use this fund if you need financial assistance in order to take classes at SADC.
To qualify for this scholarship, we generally ask that your annual household income is $50,000 or less. If your household income exceeds this and you have extenuating circumstances, please share the details in your application below. All information shared on the application is confidential.
Scholarships are given out in two forms:
1) 5-Class Package Class passes may only be used on single, adult drop-in classes. Courses are exempt from class pass packages
2) A registration into an Intro Course. Please specify which course you are interested in on your application.
Please note: All scholarships are awarded based on a percentage. Please clarify the range of 40-100% off the original price.
You must have a unique scholarship application for each scholarship you apply for. If your scholarship has expired, you will need to reapply.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
You can only be enrolled in ONE scholarship program (Discounted Training Program, Stephanie Jacob Scholarship, or Work/Exchange Program) at a time.
Students can receive up to 2 scholarships within a six-month period. Those new to the scholarship program will be prioritized to help keep our program equitable. The Discounted Training Program ($15/class) and the Work/Study program also offer financial accessibility, and we ask that you choose the right program based off your needs.
