This is an "inspired" thread. I know we have many members on here who are dancing and putting the money earned towards their college tuition. Some of you love dancing, and some of you hate it. I danced my way through college, so I know how hard it can be.
One day while I was still in college I wandered across the Exotic Dancers Alliance (EDA). For those of you who don't know much history about exotic dance, let's just say this was a group from San Francisco who really helped change the way dancers were treated in the U.S. and helped to set some decent standards, along with the Exotic Dancer's Union from the Lusty Lady who formed a few years later. Anyhow, the EDA had at one point offered college scholarships to dancers and workers in the sex industry, the first of this kind that I had ever seen. Although the EDA is no longer, (they sort of merged with Bay Swan) nor are they offer scholarships, there are places that are.
In honor of all of you who are still students, I thought we could put together a list of scholarships, hopefully some of you will decide to apply and make things a bit easier on yourselves... especially with the recession going on!
Here are a few places to check with. Mind you that I haven't exactly been looking for these lately. These scholarships are outdated, but contact the companies to find out it they will be offering more!
The St. James Infirmary (temporarily took over the EDA scholarship program)
Strip Las Vegas Benefit For AIM's 'Life After Porn' Scholarship
If you have links to other scholarships that the SW members might be interested in, please post them!
