Scholarships

We will award many scholarships at each event! More important than any scholarship, we will speak eternity-lasting words over each dancer. We will declare life into each dancer, making sure they walk away from The Sword knowing their identity and how special they are, appointed for such a time as this! They will walk away with a message of encouragement from the highest God that will speak over any insecurity or self-doubt!

Luke 6:23: Be glad in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven.

Studio Scholarships

Each studio owner will be able to choose one member from their studio. Studio owners will submit their nominations during the showcase at the registration table. 

This scholarship may only be redeemed by the dancer who won the award. Studio scholarship may be used ONE time only and must be redeemed within 12 months from the award date.

Assistant Invite Scholarships 

This award is one full scholarship and a chance to be an assistant. 

The assistant scholarship is a prestigious offer from The Sword. Only a few dancers receive it at each event. We hold this award to the highest standard. Our faculty comes together in prayer before awarding the assistant scholarships. This scholarship conveys that a dancer stood out during our event and means that The Sword staff recognizes the dancer’s bright future. We hand-pick dancers that we would like to mentor and guide into following what God has for their dance career.

This scholarship may only be redeemed by the dancer who won the award.  This deal is only valid for ONE year. Assistant invite acceptance is optional. The dancer will still have ONE year of a full scholarship, but won’t be able to assist teachers or hold the title of The Sword Assistant if declined. More information will be distributed to winners.
