The Dreyfoos School of the Arts Foundation awards student scholarships totaling more than $830,000.
Through the generous support of SOAFI donors, scholarships were presented to graduating seniors and underclassmen at Dreyfoos School of the Arts. These funds will support students’ continuing education at prestigious institutions nationwide and summer institutes that nurture their artistic and academic growth.
“Thank you to our donors, sponsors, our Foundation, and anyone who has supported our amazing, talented students,” says DSOA Principal Blake Bennett. SOAFI Major Gifts Officer John Richards presented the scholarships, and students shared heartfelt thanks to the donors, many of whom attended the ceremony.
These scholarships enable Dreyfoos students to attend prestigious institutions including Harvard, Yale, Stanford, MIT, NYU, Juilliard, Columbia, Duke, UCLA, the University of Florida, Florida State University, and the University of Miami. This financial support eases the burden of tuition and empowers students to pursue their educational dreams with confidence.

“Remember that this is just the beginning. This scholarship isn’t the destination; it’s a small launch pad. A reminder that anything you can imagine, you can accomplish,” says Dr. Chris Snyder, CEO of the Dreyfoos School of the Arts Foundation. “The Dreyfoos Magic is real, and it lives in you. Your creativity, your voice, your courage, they have power. Use them. You are our future!”
