Give
The School of Dance relies on the generous donations provided by alumni, students’ families, lovers of dance everywhere, and our own faculty/staff members. Here you can specify if you would like to donate to our General Development Fund, Student Scholarships, or the School of Dance Travel Fund. You may also conduct a search to see if your employer will match your tax-deductible donation.
For all donations made through UGive, donors will be recognized in our show programs for the academic season.
