Barbara Swanson Workshop Scholarship Program
At CNADM, we believe every student of our valued members deserves the opportunity to grow and learn from top educators. Thanks to the generosity of the Barbara Swanson Scholarship Program, we offer over 25 scholarships to attend Training School, Pre-Pro Intensive, Ballet Forum, and Weekend Workshop at our Summer Workshop. Once again, the family of Barbara Swanson is fully funding this program in her memory, ensuring students can continue their dance education without financial barriers.

Yvonne Groves Legacy Scholarship
The Yvonne Groves Legacy Scholarship honors a beloved CNADM board member whose passion for dance education and lifelong learning was unmatched. Established by her husband, this scholarship awards two teachers, covering Training School and Weekend Workshop fees for the Summer Workshop. It encourages nonmembers working toward CNADM membership and current members pursuing their CDE or MDE to continue their professional development—just as Yvonne always did.

Merit Scholarships
Merit scholarships are awarded during the summer workshops based on a student’s performance during the classes.
One Pre-Pro Intensive and five Ballet Forum merit scholarships are awarded to cover registration fees for the following summer. In addition, each Weekend Workshop class selects one student for a merit scholarship, which covers registration fees at the following Fall Dance Workshop in November.
Students are observed daily during their classes and selected based on attitude, etiquette, appearance, ability to work with others, proper use of time on/off the floor, ability to accept corrections, and dance ability.
