We pride ourselves in giving back to the community with our very successful and strong scholarship program.  The Lincolnshire Academy of Dance has given out thousands of dollars towards scholarship and Out Reach since opening our doors in January 1999. Our Scholarship and Out Reach programs help struggling families keep their children in dance classes,  benefit underserved Chicago community studios with monetary gifts, costumes and dance shoes in good condition and support many national charities annually.

Artistic Director Brenda Didier developed our “In Reach” program designed to enrich the training and lives of our talented LAD staff.

Each dance year the studio awards scholarships.  Students apply for a student assistant and/or front desk position.  Interested students must meet all requirements and fill out a scholarship application form to be considered. If accepted, a contract is signed by the scholarship recipient, parents/guardians and Artistic Director Brenda Didier.  A $300 tuition credit will be applied to the parent’s/guardian’s account if selected.

A limited amount of scholarships are available.
