Updates of International scholarships on Sponsorship page
AHA Awards is a career platform for young Australasian dancers 11-18 years to further their dance studies within Australasia or abroad. Scholarships & Cash Awards are available to successful AHA Awards contestants only who enter the competition.
After Quarter Finalist results are announced all Supreme Quarter Finalists will be asked to fill in a form at the registration desk to make three International Scholarship choices in order of preference (prior approval from their current school necessary). If the contestant is committed to another scholarship then they should write ‘NA’ on form. They are eligible for a cash prize but not a scholarship or travel grant.
Scholarship allocation is based on candidates own potential & suitability for that school & so a Semi or Quarter Finalist may receive a scholarship over a Finalist.
Some recipients have postponed their scholarship attendance beyond a reasonable time frame making it impossible for sponsors to evaluate the partnership & cannot commit scholarships for the following year.
From 2017 on all scholarship recipients must email scholarship sponsor & CC in AHA & current school within 2 weeks of event. The scholarship must be taken within 12 months of event & airfares & application at least 3 months prior to scholarship start date. Contestants who enter this event are expected to honour their scholarship prize but If unable to take a scholarship you MUST inform both scholarship sponsor & AHA immediately or within first 2 weeks after event so it can be transferred.
