The Valrene Tweedie Scholarship Fund, administered by Cecchetti Ballet Australia, is open for applications.

The Fund has been established in memory of Valrene Tweedie OAM, a Cecchetti examiner and pioneer who dedicated her life to the world of dance. The scholarship is aimed at young dancers pursuing full-time vocational dance training at a National Council recognised dance training establishment, where their attendance will be compromised due to financial hardship.

The Scholarship makes available $10,000 bi-annually which will be distributed at National Councils, the Selection Committee and Trustees discretion. Scholarships will be awarded to worthy applicants on merit. Full and part scholarships may be awarded.

​Entries close November 30. Go here for more information.
