In accepting an SAB scholarship, a student agrees not to study at any other school and not to attend auditions or to accept any amateur or professional performing engagement without the official approval of the School. A character reference from the previous academic school principal or teacher of academic studies is required of all first-time scholarship recipients. A student whose high school academic tuition is partially paid by SAB is required to have excellent attendance, behavior, and satisfactory grades. A poor academic record may deprive a student of both ballet and academic scholarships. Scholarships are awarded to exceptionally talented students.
Awards range from class tuition only to funds for tuition, a living stipend and transportation.
Honorary scholarships may also be awarded.
