Fund an ELLA Foundation Scholarship at your School

The ELLA Foundation invites selected dance schools to offer scholarships directly to First Nations students attending their school. This is a meaningful opportunity to make a lasting impact by supporting a young dancer you already know, teach, and believe in.

How It Works

• Support a Student in Your School: When scholarship applications open in November, help an eligible First Nations student at your school—whether new or currently enrolled—to apply.

• Sign the Deed and Provide Funding: If your student is successful in receiving a scholarship, we will provide a Donation Deed to formalise your support. The full donation is made upfront by you, and a tax-deductible receipt will be issued following your contribution.

• Quarterly Check-ins and Payments: You’ll complete quarterly check-ins with The ELLA Foundation to confirm the student’s ongoing attendance and engagement. Scholarship funds will then be distributed quarterly to your nominated bank account.

Acknowledging Your Support

As a donor, you’ll receive:

• Recognition in our annual Impact Report

• Optional acknowledgment on The ELLA Foundation’s website and social media

Want to Be Considered?

Currently, this program is by invitation only. However, if you believe one of your students may be eligible or you’d like to be involved, get in touch during our next scholarship round in November to register your interest.
