Juilliard, one of the world's leading performing arts schools, remains the dream destination for many young performers. Among them are extremely talented dancers from Ashburn, who inevitably face the burden of higher education costs. Scholarships can pave the way for their dreams, yet there are not enough local scholarships to support all these promising talents.

According to the National Centre for Education Statistics (2018), the average cost of attending a performing arts school in the US is around $50,000 per year. This steep cost is often a barrier for many talented dancers from lower-income families. The situation in Ashburn mirrors this national trend.

Help us fund local scholarships to support and empower Ashburn dancers to reach their potential and secure a coveted education at Juilliard. Sign this petition to provide these talented artists the opportunity they so rightfully deserve. They represent our town's cultural heartbeat - let's ensure they keep dancing.
