Financial Aid

We strongly encourage filing your FAFSA (Federal Application for Financial Student Aid) when applying to the University of Arizona. By doing this, students may qualify for federally funded loans and grants.

When completing your FAFSA make sure to include UA’s school code 001083, so that your application will be routed appropriately.

Scholarships

There are two types of scholarships available for incoming undergraduate dance majors:

Academic Merit-based Scholarships

Filing an application as early as possible in the late summer or fall prior to the year applied for is highly recommended. Academic awards are highly competitive. We encourage all prospective dance students to apply for academic awards. And the earlier one applies the greater chance of receiving an award.

Undergraduate Dance Merit-based Scholarships Opportunities

Besides academic merit-based scholarships, undergraduate applicants may also qualify for dance merit-based scholarships. The application for these scholarships is wrapped into the application process. By applying to the School of Dance, dancers are automatically in a pool of consideration for funding. Dance merit-based scholarships for undergraduate applicants are highly competitive and award a range of funding amounts, which reflect the unique gifts each dancer may bring to the program.

Applicants with a grade point average below 3.0 will not be considered for scholarships. To be eligible for scholarships students must be enrolled full-time in at least 12 graded credit hours per semester and must maintain a 3.0 GPA.

GRADUATE FINANCIAL AID AND SCHOLARSHIPS

1. Teaching Assistantships which includes an out-of-state tuition waver
2. Graduate College Fellowships
3. Graduate Tuition Scholarships
