Tuition & Scholarships

merit-based Tuition

Colorado Ballet Academy Merit-Based Scholarships are awarded each year at the discretion of the Colorado Ballet Academy Scholarship Board. There are no applications for Academy Scholarships. Your family will be notified if your dancer has been awarded a scholarship.

Tuition Reduction

Each year, through the support of generous foundations and individuals, Colorado Ballet is pleased to offer tuition reduction opportunities to students who wish to study ballet in our Academy. The number and amount of each award is determined by the number of applicants and the amount of funds available. Tuition reduction is not guaranteed, and the amount awarded may not be the same as awards made in previous years.

pre-professional division

Students enrolled in the Pre-Professional Division are not eligible for tuition reduction. If you need financial aid, please contact academy@coloradoballet.org stating your interest in assistance as these requests will be handled separately.

- An Award applies to academy tuition only, offered for the 2024-2025 academy session and is not applicable to any summer program or extracurricular program (Nutcracker, YAGP, DBG, etc.).
- Awards are granted on a year-to-year basis only. If you have received financial assistance in years past, you must apply and be reconsidered annually.
- An Award with Colorado Ballet is made without consideration of race, nation of origin, or gender.
The yearly amount of any Award may be based on artistic merit and/or financial need.

- Award applicants agree to abide by all the policies set forth in the 2024-2025 Wavier and Commitment Contract.
