The five selected dancers will receive $10,000 each to support their education.
The Entertainment Community Fund (ECF) has announced the five recipients of its 2025 Alex Dubé Scholarship. The annual program awards select dancers enrolled in an accredited graduate degree program with $10,000 prizes to support their education.
This year’s recipients are Claire Glavin, Jacob Gutierrez, Fatima Logan-Alston, Beth Maslinoff, and Betsy Schaefer.
ECF’s Career Transition For Dancers, which operates through the Alex Dubé Scholarship Program, also supports dancers with career counseling, educational scholarships and panel discussions to assist them in navigating life changes and exploring new opportunities.
Another Entertainment Community Fund program for dancers, The Dancer’s Resource, was founded by Tony Award winner Bebe Neuwirth to address the unique situation dancers face as a consequence of the physically demanding nature of their work, coupled with the significant financial challenges of earning a living in dance. The Dancers’ Resource provides individual and group support for dancers dealing with injuries; referrals for health care and health insurance; information and advocacy with workers’ compensation and disability insurance; educational seminars on injury prevention, nutrition and wellness, financial planning and more; emergency financial assistance; connection with other dancers to share experiences, resources and advice, and more.
”We extend our sincerest congratulations to this year’s incredible group of applicants and the scholarship recipients,” said Neuwirth in a statement. “We look forward to seeing all that Claire, Jacob, Fatima, Beth and Betsy achieve as they transition into the next stage of their careers.”
