All scholarship applicants, including new and returning students, must apply for Dance scholarships through NinerScholars, UNC Charlotte's scholarship portal. All students must submit application materials, including an essay and resume. In addition, incoming students (both freshmen and transfers) will interview in person or virtually. Interviews will take place in the spring.
Scholarship students are active in our department and often act as ambassadors for campus events. Students are welcome and encouraged to reapply each year, as long as they meet the proper criteria.

"These scholarships are opportunities for me to give more time and energy to improving the school and the greater Charlotte community since I do not have to work as much due to receiving them. I hope to further my love of learning, helping others, and leading my colleagues to do the same during my time at UNC Charlotte."
