#FRIYAYJAM & Underground Dance Studio x DROP present the NEW DJ SCHOLARSHIP.

This initiative will support up to two up-and-coming, Lithuania-based DJs in 2026 whose main priority is to learn and play for the street and/or club dance scene. The scholarship will fully cover the fee for one DJ school course led by DJ mentor Emilis Pilionis (DJ Lime). The course includes five 90-minute private classes, as well as opportunities to trial and play during dance training sessions at DROP Studio and #FRIYAYJAM.

- Involvement in and knowledge of the Lithuanian dance scene
-A strong desire to excel in playing at battles, jams, and dance community events
-The ability to curate playlists for selected dance styles

All applicants must be over 16 years old.
We are particularly keen to receive applications from aspiring female DJs.

2026 applications are now being reviewed.
All candidates will be contacted by 6 February.
Successful candidates will be announced by end of February 2026.

Special thanks to Underground Studio founders Monika Kozo Cibiraite & Rugile Bliznikaite, who ran the studio in 23-24 and offered training space for jams for free, allowing #FRIYAYJAM to save up the money for meaningful initiatives like this one.
