At New Attitudes Dance Studios, we believe in supporting our dancers both in the studio and beyond. That’s why we offer a variety of local dance scholarships each year to help students pursue their passion for movement, creativity, and personal growth.
Hope for the Future Scholarship
Through the New Attitudes Foundation, we also offer the Hope for the Future Scholarship, awarded each spring to a graduating senior in the Marquette area. Established in memory of Hope Pool, this scholarship honors students who embody individuality, compassion, and a strong sense of purpose.
Eligibility includes:
• A student who stands out as an individual
• Demonstrates strong morals and future-oriented goals
• Shows awareness and empathy for others
• Has an interest in charitable causes or community fundraising
For over a decade, this scholarship has supported students in Marquette public schools, and beginning in 2024, it will expand to include surrounding districts such as Negaunee, Ishpeming, Westwood, and Gwinn.
In-Studio Dance Scholarships
Our in-house scholarships are designed to meet dancers where they are—whether they’re just starting out or continuing their journey. These scholarships are awarded annually to students of all ages and backgrounds, based on individual circumstances and criteria unique to each award.
Available scholarships include:
• The Nelson Fund
• Helping Hand
• Dance For Life
• Multiple Movement
• Feet First
• Three K’s and an S
• Family 3T Scholarship
• Leave It Local

Each scholarship has its own focus, from financial support to recognizing dedication, creativity, and community involvement.
