Melanie Hays Leonard Opportunity Scholarship for Dance

Fund Purpose
GA: support scholarships for excellence in dance for students seeking a degree or minor in dance. The University and College support the Donor's interest in increasing the diversity of the students in the College's dance program. Increased and improved interaction across the lines of race, gender, ethnicity, generation, geography, and class is important and beneficial for the dance program. For so long as increased diversity in the program remains an unattained goal, in choosing recipients for the scholarships, in addition to excellence, the College will consider the students' demonstrated commitment to contributing to a pluralistic community and a diverse student body (See gift agreement for last paragraph).
