Scholarships & Awards

Supporting Exceptional Talent

At the ArtéBallét Intensive, we believe that exceptional talent deserves to be seen, supported, and cultivated — regardless of financial means, background, or identity. We welcome dancers of all nationalities, ethnicities, and financial backgrounds to apply — including male, female, and non-binary dancers. Each year, a limited number of scholarships are awarded to a carefully selected group of advanced dancers who demonstrate both technical excellence and profound artistic potential.

Note: AÉBI receives no external funding or public subsidies — all scholarships are privately sponsored by the Artistic Director as part of a personal commitment to equity, artistic innovation, and the nurturing of a dynamic international ballet legacy that bridges the Netherlands with the global stage.

    Applicants send all required materials through the Scholarship Candidacy online form. The AÉBI Artistic Panel reviews all applications.
