Tutumuchmum Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Can anyone please tell me if English youth ballet still do a full scholarship it says half on their website . I know there used to be a full one awarded as my friends daughter was lucky to receive it a couple of times . Just wanted to check before I apply as I have three dancing daughters which is getting rather costly ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Welcome to the forum, Tutumuchmum! It’s some years since my daughter’s last EYB but hopefully someone with more recent experience will be along to help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pointetoes Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 The last time my DD did EYB, just over a year ago there was one full scholarship and one half for Juniors and Seniors. You have no idea until the audition whether your child is being considered for one as they decided during the audition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granbatty Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I think you will find it is three half scholarships for both juniors & seniors. Certainly was the case for juniors at Bromley audition as my dgc was one on the junior recipients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TinyNEDancer Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 At one of the most recent auditions (end of last year) there were 3 half scholarships awarded, rather than one full and one half. Well definitely for the Juniors anyway. On this, does anyone know if this makes any difference/has any impact at all once they start rehearsing? My DD was awarded one and is due to begin rehearsals soon. I think she’s slightly apprehensive that there will be some extra expectations. I’m not sure there will be but it’s best to be prepared!

Peony Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I think you get a discount if you have siblings in the same performance but not sure how much it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemongirl Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Very occasionally they offer a quarter scholarship as well. This happened to my dd's friend, it must have been very difficult to decide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dd received the full senior scholarship and apart from having her photo taken on audition day and having to complete an email questionnaire about her ballet experience there was no extra expectation, in fact, I’m fairly sure it wasn’t mentioned during rehearsals at all.
