Dance Education Laboratory (DEL) at Jacob’s Pillow Scholarships

DEL at Jacob’s Pillow welcomes participants to experience workshops regardless of financial circumstances. To assist as many participants as possible, scholarships are based on financial need and most are partial, yet generous. Full scholarships require strong evidence of financial need.

PLEASE NOTE: In light of the challenging times we are experiencing, we are only requesting a Written Statement of Need (with fee you can provide) on the registration form for DELving into Dance History and DELving Mini. For questions, contact tgiles@jacobspillow.org.

How to Apply

Scholarship application materials can be included in the registration form or sent to Thasia Giles, Director of Community Engagement at Jacob’s Pillow, at tgiles@jacobspillow.org.
