Gladys Lasky Endowment Fund Ballet Scholarship

The Gladys Lasky Endowment Fund Ballet Scholarship was established in 2000 to promote classical ballet in Macon, Georgia in memory of Gladys Lasky. The scholarship provides financial support to ballet students to participate in classical ballet instruction or summer intensives. This scholarship is open to ballet students from Georgia who plan to participate in classical ballet instruction classes or summer intensives. Preference is given to students with ties to central Georgia who have demonstrated financial need, with particular preference given to ballet intensives only. Applicants are selected based on multiple criteria including recommendation from their current or most recent ballet instructor, potential to succeed, number of years of formal dance training, and demonstrated financial need. The scholarship awards one scholarship per year with varying amounts depending on the specific needs and programs of the selected recipient.
