Ballet Chicago’s Male Scholarship Program fosters the growth of talented young men by providing financial support and advanced training opportunities. Designed for aspiring male dancers aged 15 and up, this program offers partial or full scholarships to cover tuition, training, and performance costs at our school. The program emphasizes not only technical excellence but also artistic development, mentorship, and personal growth. Since its inception in 2002, over 25 recipients have gone on to dance in professional companies across the US, Europe, and South America.
