Scholarships

BDE is proud to invest in the future of dance through three meaningful scholarship opportunities. The Patricia Whitmore Scholarship, The Rusty Hernandez Boys Scholarship, and The Financial Need Scholarship. Through these scholarships, BDE helps young dancers pursue their goals, expand their training opportunities, and advance their dance education.

The Patricia Whitmore Scholarship supports dedicated, career-minded dancers seeking to further their training through summer intensives, workshops, or other educational opportunities. This scholarship is designed to help aspiring dancers pursue advanced study, broaden their artistic experiences, and continue working toward their long-term goals in dance.

Rusty Hernandez Boys Scholarship

Promotes the involvement of boys in the art of dance. Scholarships are available for male dancers studying at The Barrington Dance Academy, sponsored by The Barrington Dance Ensemble.

Please contact BDE for more information.

The BDE Financial Need Scholarship provides opportunities for those who might not otherwise be able to afford to study dance.
