About
An annual scholarship supporting Tasmanian dancers aged 17–26 to undertake professional development through travel and study. Recipients receive up to $28,500 to support artist wages, travel costs, living allowances, dance education study, residencies with professional companies, and mentorships.
The Annie Greig Dance Scholarship is a prestigious $28,500 award created to bridge the gap between Tasmania and the global dance stage. Established through a generous bequest from the late Annie Greig—a pioneer of the Tasmanian arts and former Artistic Director of Tasdance—this scholarship honors her legacy of mentorship and international excellence. The program is specifically designed for Tasmanian dancers aged 17–26 who are ready to immerse themselves in the professional world. The scholarship supports a significant period of development (three months or more) either dancing with a professional contemporary company/festival or undertaking full-time study at a global dance institution. This is a rare, life-changing investment in the next generation of Tasmanian movement leaders. Key Details: The Award: A single scholarship of $28,500. The Mandate: Must support at least three months of national or international professional development. Eligible Activities: Full-time placement with a professional contemporary company, festival, or educational institution. Eligibility: * Age: 17 to 26 years old. Residency: Must be a Tasmanian dancer. Timing: For activities starting after October 1, 2026.
