About the Nancy Houssels Scholarship
Nevada Ballet Theatre awards its own special scholarship to one deserving student a year. The Nancy Houssels Scholarship, named after Nevada Ballet Theatre Co-Founder and Board Co-Chair, Nancy Houssels, affords an Academy student the opportunity to further develop his or her talent and love of dance by covering a full season’s tuition. Selection will occur in May and funds will be applied for the following season.
Scholarship Requirements
• Only students of the Pre-Professional Program in levels 3 – 8 who are nominated by their instructor will be considered. The scholarship recipient is then chosen by the principal and the faculty.
