đź“Ś Tax Reminder
Please contact your tax advisor if you have questions about how scholarships may affect your tax status.
All scholarship requests must be submitted through our website by clicking the applicable “Scholarship Disbursement.” at the bottom of this page Â
You must be signed into a Google account to access the form.
Requests must be submitted in $5 increments only (e.g., $100, $105, $110).
We cannot issue checks for amounts like $102.44 or $118.75—please round accordingly.
You are responsible for submitting your request accurately and on time.
Requests submitted outside the website will not be reviewed.
Questions must be directed to the Treasurer via email—not by text message. This ensures your inquiry is properly documented and responded to.
Submission does not guarantee approval. All scholarship requests are subject to review and must meet eligibility and documentation requirements.
You must be an active volunteer to be eligible for scholarship awards.
This means you’ve contributed to our general and scholarship pool through fundraising or event participation during the current YDE fiscal season (July through July).
Your documentation must clearly show what your scholarship will cover and must include your child’s first and last name.
Acceptable documents include:
College tuition remittance statements
Invoices for payment
Dance account statements showing current charges due (must include dancer’s first and last name) Generic emails from dance organizations are not accepted and will not be processed.
Scholarships are only issued for charges due in the upcoming month. We do not prepay or cover future months in advance—requests must reflect current or next-month charges only. We will approve request for past due charges only if they are clearly documented as outstanding and have not yet been paid.
Travel reimbursement is not allowed.
Personal reimbursement is rare and only approved on a case-by-case basis.
Dance studio requests must be submitted during the open period listed on the website. Typically, this is the 1st through the 15th of each month, unless otherwise indicated.
For non–dance studio requests, include the date the check needs to arrive to ensure timely processing.
Allow a minimum of 7 business days for non–dance studio requests to be reviewed and mailed.
Dance studio requests must follow the submission deadline to be applied to the next month’s tuition.
Submission dates may shift due to holidays (November/December) or Treasurer vacation.
Disbursements approved by the Board are mailed the last week of the month, unless an earlier date is requested for a non–dance studio request.
You’ll receive your credit via email from the fundraiser coordinator.
Please allow 6–8 weeks after product delivery for credits to be awarded.
Requests submitted before receiving your credit notification will be denied.
Questions about selling fundraisers must be directed to the coordinator of that specific fundraiser, not the Treasurer—unless the Treasurer is also serving as the coordinator.
Check the Google signup sheet tab for donation amounts per volunteer.
It may take 45–60 days for checks to be received and credits listed.
Please do not text the coordinator asking when the donation payment will be processed. If the donation is not listed, it has not yet been reconciled. Updates will be posted once available.
