For Families Applying for Cotillion Tuition Assistance

Cotillion benefits everyone it touches — from the students themselves to the parents, teachers, community leaders, and adults who have the privilege of interacting with them.

The mission of the Lake Lanier Chapter of the National League of Junior Cotillions is to enrich the fabric of our community by offering meaningful experiences that leave a lasting impression on students. Each class and event is thoughtfully designed to help students grow in confidence, courtesy, respect, grace, and social ease.

While we are grateful for the local vendors, venues, and community partners who help make these experiences possible, providing this standard of excellence does come at a significant expense. At the same time, the heart of etiquette is about honoring everyone — not only those who can easily afford these opportunities.

For this reason, the Lake Lanier Chapter is pleased to offer tuition scholarship opportunities for qualifying students. Scholarships allow students to experience Cotillion at no cost to their families through the generosity of community sponsors. Scholarship recipients will complete an age-appropriate application, write a heartfelt thank-you letter to their sponsor upon acceptance, and have the opportunity to meet their sponsor as a guest of honor at the Grand Spring Ball.

This process is designed to be meaningful for students. It introduces them to the valuable life experience of applying for a scholarship, expressing gratitude in writing, and building respectful connections with community leaders.

Families who are applying for a scholarship should complete two steps:

1. Complete the regular online registration form for the appropriate Cotillion class.
   When filling out registration, please indicate that a scholarship application has been submitted.
2. Download and complete the Scholarship Application Packet.
   The application should be completed by the student, with the required parent/guardian section included. Please follow the instructions in the packet carefully for your child’s grade level.

Completed scholarship applications should be submitted according to the instructions provided in the packet. For Year II and Premiere applicants, answers may be typed or neatly handwritten, attached to an email, and sent to [email protected] with the student’s full name and grade level in the subject line.

Scholarship recipients are expected to attend all Cotillion classes and special events, participate with excellent behavior and enthusiasm, write a thank-you letter to their sponsor, and represent the Cotillion program with respect.

Special Events Sponsorship Opportunities

The Heart of the Cotillion Experience

While every Cotillion class is meaningful, it’s our major events that become the core memories students and their families treasure for a lifetime. These evenings take months of planning, require significant resources, and create the most powerful opportunities for students to put their etiquette, leadership, and confidence into practice.

By sponsoring one of these events—whether fully or partially—you are directly making it possible for our students to step into a world of elegance, honor, and celebration that will stay with them forever.

Our Program’s Flagship event, The Grand Spring Ball

Full Sponsorship: $4,000 (1 Available) - or -
Half Sponsorship: $2,000 (2 Available)

This event is the crowning celebration of the Cotillion year—a black-tie evening where students showcase the dances, etiquette, and leadership they’ve worked so hard to master. Parents, guests, and sponsors watch with pride as these young men and women carry themselves with grace, confidence, and genuine warmth.

This is far more than a dance. It is a culmination experience—the moment where months of learning are brought to life in a real-world setting, surrounded by peers, respected community members, and honored guests. Students navigate formal introductions, engage in meaningful conversation, and honor their parents with gestures of courtesy and gratitude.

The ballroom sparkles with music and movement, the air filled with a sense of occasion. Every handshake, every dance step, every poised interaction is a testament to their personal growth. This elegant celebration brings together multiple generations of a community, reinforcing the timeless values of respect, hospitality, and connection.

Why It’s Special:
The Grand Spring Ball is often described by parents as the night they will never forget—a moment when they see their child transformed. As a Guest of Honor, sponsors witness the culmination of months of learning and are forever part of this milestone. For many students, the Grand Spring Ball becomes a core memory—the night they first felt themselves step fully into young adulthood, confident in who they are and how they present themselves to the world.

Holiday Ball

Full Sponsorship: $4,000 (1 Available) - or -

The ballroom comes alive with festive music and a spirit of camaraderie, offering the perfect backdrop for students to put into practice the social skills, dance steps, and etiquette they’ve learned so far.

This event is equal parts refinement and festivity. Students greet guests, make introductions, and engage in gracious conversation, all while enjoying the fun of holiday-themed dances and activities. It’s a joyful opportunity to strengthen new friendships, build confidence in a formal social setting, and experience the magic of being part of a well-mannered, well-dressed gathering.

The Holiday Ball is also a moment to celebrate the progress made in the first half of the season. By practicing in a lively, welcoming environment, students grow more comfortable applying their skills naturally, making this event both a treasured social memory and a meaningful stepping stone in the program.

Why It’s Special:

Often a student’s first formal evening event, the Winter Ball is magical—combining music, elegance, and holiday charm. Sponsors create an atmosphere that students will remember as a defining “first” in their lives.

Year II Five-Course Instructional Dinner

From posture and place settings to service order and proper utensil use, students discover the reasoning behind traditional dining etiquette and how it conveys respect, attentiveness, and self-assurance. They also practice refined table conversation, gracious interaction with servers, and hospitality toward fellow guests.

This event gives students the practical knowledge and confidence to carry themselves with ease at weddings, banquets, professional dinners, and social gatherings for the rest of their lives.

This is often the only opportunity a young person will have to learn the complete art of fine dining in a formal setting.

They explore the nuances of timing, service interactions, and adapting to formal environments across different cultures and contexts.

By the end of the evening, students are not only able to participate in a formal dinner flawlessly, but they are also prepared to lead one—a life skill that will serve them in both personal and professional spheres for years to come.

Why It’s Special:

This dinner elevates students from polished participants to poised leaders at the table. Your sponsorship equips them with the ability to host, guide, and inspire confidence in others—a rare and invaluable skill that will distinguish them in college, careers, and community life.

Sponsor a class, Pre Cotillion, Cotillion Year I, II, & Premiere

Classroom Sponsorship: $600 (16 Available)

Why This Sponsorship Matters:
Sponsoring a Cotillion class is the most practical and immediately impactful way to support our program. Each class is a carefully curated blend of etiquette instruction, hands-on practice, and social interaction—giving students skills they will use for the rest of their lives.

What Your Sponsorship Covers:

• Venue Costs: Our largest single expense, securing an elegant, well-appointed space where students can learn and practice in a setting that reflects the formality and refinement of the program.

• Visual & Audio Equipment: Ensuring students can see, hear, and engage fully with presentations, demonstrations, and dance instruction.

• Student Refreshments: We serve light “snacks” during class, using this as an opportunity to teach food-related etiquette and the protocol for navigating refreshment tables—an often-overlooked life skill.

• Dance Instruction: Professional, guided lessons in ballroom and social dances that reinforce cooperation, respect between partners, and confident movement in formal settings.

• 
  

Inside a Cotillion Class:
A typical class begins with students practicing greetings, introductions, and conversation skills. They then transition into etiquette instruction—covering topics such as table manners, digital courtesy, and event protocol—before moving to the dance floor for formal dance lessons. Along the way, every element of the class reinforces confidence, respect, and grace.

By sponsoring a class, you are providing the environment, resources, and experiences that make this transformation possible.
