The school does not receive any aid and is not eligible for public funding.

Paris Marais Dance School is a private school that neither requests nor receives any public funding. Consequently, the school does not grant any aid or scholarships directly to students; nor is it eligible for public funding.
Therefore, candidates are encouraged to seek out sponsors who may support the training of young artists.
As an indication and service, we provide below a list of scholarships, grants, and foundations that may assist you in financing your studies within a broad framework, even outside of PMDS. This list is not exhaustive, and we invite you to conduct your own research based on your profile or nationality.
Before any registration, we invite you to check with the administration of Paris Marais Dance School to confirm if the school is eligible for the scholarships mentioned and that may be of interest to you.
