Scholarship Endowment
Investing in Dreams. Sustaining Excellence.
Westside Ballet believes every gifted young dancer deserves the opportunity to pursue exceptional training regardless of financial circumstances.Our Scholarship Endowment helps ensure that talented students with passion, discipline, and promise can continue their artistic journey for generations to come.
The endowment began through the extraordinary generosity of visionary donors who believed in Westside Ballet’s mission. The Judy Chow Family Scholarship established the foundation for permanent scholarship support, and the transformational legacy gift of Todd Lechtick significantly advanced that vision.
Today, as we celebrate our 60th Anniversary, our Scholarship Endowment is approaching the remarkable milestone of $1 million. Unlike annual gifts, every contribution to the endowment is invested in perpetuity, creating lasting opportunities for future generations of dancers.
Together, we can ensure that talent—not financial circumstance—determines who has the opportunity to dance.
