Scholarship Opportunities

We believe that dance education should be accessible to all members of our community, and the Goh Ballet Canada Society is working to remove all barriers that may prevent promising students from accessing the training that they need to pursue a flourishing career in dance. There are currently two funding streams available as part of the Canadian Masterclass Series.

The National Scholarship Award

The National Scholarship Award is open to any student taking part in the masterclass. Criteria for awarding scholarships are based on financial need and merit as observed during the class. Awardees are selected solely at the discretion of Ms. Goh and Goh Ballet's faculty. A total of 16 full tuition subsidies will be awarded throughout the series, allowing exceptional students with financial need to participate in Goh Ballet’s Summer Intensive program at no cost. This initiative aims to diminish barriers to participation and provide transformative access to advanced training opportunities that would otherwise be out of reach.

The Diversity Scholarship

The Diversity Scholarship is available to gifted and persevering students who belong to, or identify with, underrepresented populations in the art of classical ballet. Goh Ballet Canada Society recognizes that racial, gender and physical biases may prevent promising students from accessing resources to further their dance goals. The Diversity Scholarship, with a total of $5000 to be awarded, is an initiative designed to foster inclusion and diversity in the art form of ballet, and provide those with the will, a way to pursue excellence.

Relevé Ambassadorship Program

The CMCS Relevé Ambassadorship Program creates additional access to support, mentorship and to fostering inclusiveness in the world of ballet. An Ambassador will be named in each city of the CMCS tour to continue the essence of what the Series is meant to cultivate throughout the year.

An Ambassador will be selected and invited by Ms. Goh to apply in each region after the masterclass.
