SPRING 2026 SCHOLARSHIPS OPEN NOW!

MOVE WITH PURPOSE DANCE SCHOLARSHIPS

In collaboration with our Corporate Partners

Move With Purpose offers scholarships in concert with our Studio Corporate Partners who invest in our community by matching our scholarship gifts. For 2025-26 we have THREE Corporate Partners: The Dance Network, State Street Ballet, and our founding partner, Santa Barbara Dance Arts.

Move With Purpose scholarships are given out based on financial need on a first come, first served basis. We are proud to have our scholarship guidelines reflect the the wages and cost of living of Santa Barbara County rather than state-wide or federal income brackets. This ensures that our high cost of living is taken into account for our local families who want the best for their family.

From August 2024-July 2025

  • 141 youth served with almost 25,000 hours of dance education offered

  • 305 classes and camps

  • $62,000 awarded with over $25,000 matched by our Corporate Partners.
