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.
