Vaszary Scholarship
The Vaszary Scholarship fund was created in 2008 to recognize the talented youth of Southwest Virginia dancing in the Roanoke Valley. A scholarship committee comprised of a SVB board member, SVB artistic director, and community volunteers consider financial need and the student's ability and attitude toward dance. Merit and financial based scholarships ranging from $100 to $500 are awarded annually for summer programs and annual tuition assistance.
Eligibility:
- Applicants must be residents of the United States
- Reside in the Greater Roanoke Valley region
- Applicants must be students that actively participate in weekly
dance classes. All types of dance are eligible
- Applicants can apply for only one scholarship each year.
To apply you must submit:
- The Parent or Guardian application
- The Dancer application
- A short essay by the dancer titled "Where I See Myself in the Future"
The dancer may also submit an optional letter of recommendation from their current dance instructor.
The questions asked in this application are designed to help us understand fully the family’s financial position and make certain that aid is awarded to those qualified students whose need is greatest.
The information in this application is strictly confidential.
