PrintNDA Outstanding Student Recognition Awards
NDA's Outstanding Student Recognition program honors the contribution of students who have made a difference to their faculties and departments.
NDA partners with necessary university departments to help each university set its own criteria for the awards, based on their curriculum, and provides a certificate award to deserving dancers. Each department may nominate one student for each award.
Submit your nomination and become a part of this important recognition program.
