AWARDS & SCHOLARSHIPS
At Youth America Grand Prix, our philosophy is that the best award a young student dancer can receive is an opportunity to further his or her dance education at a top dance school. For those students who are ready to dance professionally, the best award would be a professional job opportunity. Our awards reflect this philosophy. Although there will be cash prizes given to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners in each category, our best prizes are scholarship awards to the top schools in the world.
Total value of all cash, scholarship and special awards exceeds $200,000 annually.
