Ballet Class Financial Assistance Program and Kerri L. Hunter Memorial Ballet Class Scholarship

The Ballet Class Financial Assistance Program is designed to provide financial aid to individuals in need of support to pursue their ballet education. This program offers assistance to students who demonstrate financial need, helping to make ballet classes more accessible to all.

The Kerri L. Hunter Memorial Minority Ballet Class Scholarship honors the memory of Kerri L. Hunter, a talented former minority Company member who tragically passed away in a car accident. This scholarship specifically supports minority individuals who are passionate about ballet, ensuring they have the opportunity to develop their skills and pursue their artistic goals. In memory of Kerri, her parents, Patricia and William Hunter, a longtime Canton City School Administrator and former Canton Ballet Board President, established this scholarship to continue her legacy and support the next generation of ballet artists.

Both programs reflect the School of Canton Ballet’s commitment to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment for dancers of all backgrounds.
