Scholarship INFO
CUTTING EDGE
In every regional city, each artist will be awarding scholarships to dancers that excel at their particular style in each of their individual classes. This will give students the opportunity to receive scholarships in all disciplines of dance: tap, jazz, contemporary, hip-hop, ballet, etc. Cutting Edge Scholarships can be awarded to any dancer, ages 8-19, in the Mini, Junior, Teen and Senior workshop levels. The number of scholarship winners may vary depending on convention size and skill level. Dancers are eligible for only one Cutting Edge Scholarship per season. One-day students are not eligible for Cutting Edge Scholarships.
All Cutting Edge Scholarship recipients will receive:
- $150 scholarship to DancerPalooza 2026 (Intensive only)
- IMPORTANT: Winning a Cutting Edge Scholarship does not make a dancer eligible to compete in the 2026 Elite Protégé Competition at RADIX Nationals. However, a Cutting Edge Scholarship Winner may still audition in other cities to become a Regional Protégé, thereby making them eligible to compete in the 2026 Elite Protégé Competition at RADIX Nationals.
CHOICE ARTIST
In every regional city, each RADIX artist will choose one dancer as the recipient of their “Choice Artist” scholarship. This dancer may be someone who excels in class, someone who shows a lot of potential, or someone who stands out to the artists for a special reason. The Choice Artist Scholarship recipient can come back to one RADIX during the 2026-2027 regional season and participate in the workshop, free of charge! Choice Artist Scholarships can be awarded to any dancer, ages 8-19, in the Mini, Junior, Teen and Senior workshop levels. Dancers are eligible for only one Choice Artist Scholarship per season. One-day dancers and RADIX Protégé Winners are not eligible for Choice Artist Scholarships.
