We assure you that there are plenty of scholarship available to help you finance and cover the cost of the Summer Intensive. Its just a matter of doing a little research and pursuing the leads below and finding ones that are similar to these and relevant to you and your country of original, etc.
There are hundreds of scholarships such as the ones we’ve listed below and therefore, we have provided you with a list of reputable grants and scholarships available for dancers such as yourself, seeking to take part in our Summer Intensive dance program. The earlier you begin this process, the better.
Launch a Crowdfunding Campaign
There have been many past dance students who attended the Kibbutz Summer Intensive who have successfully raised funds to cover the entire program fee through crowdfunding fundraising campaigns such as Indiegogo and Kickstarter and GoFundMe. We highly recommend that you consider launching a crowdfunding campaign on one of these websites as they continuously have been proven to help dance students, like yourself, cover the entire tuition fee, along with the flight to Tel Aviv, and even spending money during your time in Israel.
**In addition to all of the grants and scholarships below, we suggest that you contact your country’s cultural department at their embassy in Israel to make them aware of your desire and intention to participate in KCDC’s Summer Intensive and request support from them and ask them of other organizations, foundations and scholarships that are available for young artists seeking to further develop themselves.
We’re happy to assist you with a letter should you require it to apply for any scholarship or grant. You’re welcome to contact our International Director, Yoni Avital to request such a letter by sending an e-mail to [email protected]
