Every year the North American Irish Dance Teacher's Association (IDTANA) offers a total of $20,000 in scholarships to dancers across North America who not only are accomplished dancers but have also achieved a very high standard of academic excellence and are extensively involved in leadership roles and volunteer service within their school and community.
The 2014 scholarship applications have now been posted on the IDTANA website; the deadline for applications is December 17 2013.
Applications will be reviewed by an IDTANA committee consisting of dance teachers from each region in North America. Applicants must be in Grade 12 this year and entering a full-time 4-year degree program in September 2014, or be currently enrolled in a 4-year degree program and will still be enrolled in 2014-15. The initial screening of applications is solely based on academic standing; the short-listed top candidates then proceed to a second round of more comprehensive assessment.

NPIDA is proud to have had 2 dancers be prior winners of IDTANA scholarships! Michael Y was a recipient in 2009 and Hanna S was a recipient in 2010. Michael and Hanna were the only Western Canadian IDTANA scholarship recipients in those respective years.
