Our Mission
We aim to close the financial gap between professional dancers and their transitions into higher education opportunities. Through our scholarship awards and mentorship partnerships, we strive to set dancers up for success in their next chapters.
Our Mentorship Partners
We have partnered with the LEAP Program at Saint Mary’s College of California and Second Act to ensure The Encore Fund scholarship recipients will transition smoothly from dance, to academia, to new industries. This support may include one-on-one mentorships, invitations to industry panels, networking events, and more!
