FSBT Scholarship Program

FSBT Establishes Need-Based Scholarship Program for New Students

FSBT has established a scholarship program which will begin in September 2007. The program is open to beginning ballet students ages four through 12, who are not or have not been enrolled at FSBT. Recipients will be chosen based on financial need and preference will be given to residents of the City of Wilmington.

The scholarship will provide one year of ballet instruction, including an FSBT summer program, and a ballet clothing and shoe allowance. Parents or guardians must complete a financial aid application and submit proof of income. Recipients who wish to continue as scholarship students must reapply each year.

Auditions for the 2007-2008 school year will be held in FSBT’s studios on Saturday,

August 11 at noon; financial aid application forms and registration and forms must be postmarked not later than Wednesday, August 1.

Parent/guardians of selected students must sign a contract ensuring that their child will attend class regularly. Applicants who are not selected will be placed on a waiting list. If selected students fail to attend class regularly, their scholarship will be transferred to the top applicant on the waiting list.

Wilmington Structural Engineering firm O’Donnell, Naccarato and MacIntosh has funded the first 2007-2008 scholarship. FSBT has also invited major banks to participate in the program.
