Secret Circus BIPOC Scholarship program

PLEASE READ: The SECRET CIRCUS BIPOC SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM is offered to a member or hopeful member of our community who wants to further and hone their aerial arts and circus training in a safe, professional space.

However we have a limited number of scholarships available, and we would like to make sure you will take full advantage of the scholarship. We are not a non-profit and all funds come from student raised events and shows. We have an increasing interest in the program, and once we are out of funds, we can not offer the scholarship again until funds are raised. Once you've submitted the application, you'll receive an email from us reiterating this information and letting you know where you are in the waiting list of applicants. 

Scholarships are applicable to one session class per student (regardless of age) and open to anyone who identifies as a person of color. Please submit a separate application for every member of your household whom you would like to have considered for the scholarship. The student selected may keep their scholarship for a second session immediately following the first if they wish to continue taking classes! 

Expectations of Secret Circus Studio scholarship recipients:

-Attend at least 80% of classes.
-Be involved as a performer, volunteer, or audience member in student showcases and other Secret Circus events/performances that happen during your scholarship.
-A SECRET staff member will check in with you during each session to ask how it’s going; talk to them and tell them about your experience in your circus class.
-Those who receive less than a 100% scholarship must pay their portion of the tuition before the first day of class (payment plans can be arranged--let us know if this is needed).
-Please know that if you are unable to meet these expectations, that does not mean that you will automatically lose your scholarship. We know that life can be challenging sometimes. When you have your check-ins with your Secret Circus staff member, they will discuss with you how to assist you in meeting these expectations.
