Gifts to LEAP (Liberal Education for Arts Professionals) Program contribute to...
The LEAP Program at Saint Mary's College delivers a rich liberal arts education to dancers and performing artists across the country. By providing a unique pathway toward a Bachelor's degree that offers credit for professional experience, LEAP has been a pioneer program in supporting dancers' educational goals for over 25 years.
While a dancer may be prepared to make the leap into higher education, financial barriers can often stand in the way of this goal.
That's why we're launching a campaign to grow our LEAP Scholarship Fund. Your generous contribution will directly benefit these aspiring scholars by:
- Providing vital financial assistance: Scholarships will alleviate the burden of tuition costs, allowing students to focus on their studies and their artistic/professional development.
- Expanding access to education: Your support will open doors for both current and former professional dancers who might otherwise be unable to afford a college degree.
- Investing in the future of the arts: By supporting LEAP students, you're investing in the next generation of artists, educators, and leaders.
The LEAP program is more than just a degree; it's a transformative experience that equips dancers with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to thrive, whether they remain in the arts or transition to new fields. We empower them to leverage their unique skills and experiences, opening doors to diverse career paths beyond the stage. By contributing to our scholarship fund, you're not just giving a gift – you're offering an opportunity.
Join us in making a difference. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to our goal of providing accessible and exceptional education for dancers, enabling them to pursue their passions and build fulfilling careers.
