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 student 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.
