Petit Oasis Foundation is a private non-profit organization offering scholarships to boys living in the vicinity of Los Angeles and Orange County between the ages of 8 and 18 years old who strive to be professional ballet dancers.
Scholarship Awards:
Checks will be issued to the ballet school the recipient is attending and credited toward his tuition. With written approval of his teacher and his school, the money can be put toward the cost (tuition, dormitory, or air-fare) of an intensive summer school program at another school. Acceptable schools are affiliated with ballet companies, such as American Ballet School or San Francisco Ballet School, etc., so that applicants will have a better chance to get in the company in the future.
Selection Criteria: Applicants who show realistic potential to be professional dancers. Prior experience in the discipline of ballet is desired. Physical attributes, motivation, intelligence, musicality, personality, improvisation, and progress shown compared with previous years.
Application Process: Download and fill out the application form completely and accurately. Please send the completed form along with a copy of your ID (birth certificate, driver's license, passport, or school ID) and recent photos showing your progress in ballet. DVD & VHS of your dancing are welcome. If you are a first-time applicant, please attach a recommendation letter as well.
Applications should be sent to the following address:
Petit Oasis Foundation
902 16th St. #B Santa Monica, CA 90403
Deadline for application to be received is always October 15th.
We will not accept any applications after the deadline. The invitation to the audition will be mailed to you by November 15th.
We would like to award larger scholarships to those with a realistic potential to be a professional ballet dancer and/or those who show noticeable progress compared with previous years. Some may not receive any. If we have more than 50 applicants, we may limit the number we invite to the audition by pre-screening based on the information on the application forms. Please review the records of previous years at our website.
