DANCE, PERFORMING ARTS SCHOLARSHIPS

At MUCAI Academy, lack of finances and disabilities should not be barriers for students who want to dance and are dedicated to improving themselves, through dance. Need and disability based assistance is available to students whose family income is within 200% of the Federal Poverty Level or whose documented disabilities will limit dance comprehension or performance ability, despite accommodations. 80% attendance in all classes and rehearsals is required, as well as 80% attendance in school for disability application.
