IOTPD Philippe Braunschweig Grant

Due to the very nature of the profession many dancers have international careers. Because of their scattered careers these dancers may not meet the eligibility criteria of any one country in order to receive a retraining grant through one of the established transitions centres.

As a tribute to its founder the IOTPD has created the annual IOTPD Philippe Braunschweig Grant for retraining.

This is an education grant meant for professional dancers who have had an international career and who don't qualify for support from any one of the countries where they have danced.


The annual competitive grant is awarded to a dancer, at or near the end of their performance career, who has had an international career and does not qualify for transition support from any one of the countries where they have danced. The grant, sponsored by the IOTPD to honour its Founding President, Philippe Braunschweig, is to help defray the costs associated with retraining for a second career.



GRANT AMOUNT:
Up to € 3000 will be available each year. This amount may be awarded in whole or in part depending on the need.


ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA:

The dancer must:

• Not qualify for transition/retraining support from any one of the countries where he/she has danced

• Have performed as a dancer at some point within the 24 month period preceding the IOTPD Philippe Braunschweig Grant deadline for which he/she is applying
