Scholarships & Financial Aid

Funded pathways that help dancers pursue sustained training and opportunities without cost standing in the way.
Expanding Access

Opening doors at every stage.

Lux is developing two funded programs for dancers at different stages of their artistic journey.

Together, they support sustained youth training and professional-track performance while reducing the cost of deeper participation.
