Great Performances' Biennial Scholarship Awards Program recognizes the talents and pursuits of its hourly employees, many of whom are working artists. With three grants of $4,000 each, recipients are able to fund projects that aim to advance their artistic careers. The Scholarship Awards Program enables us to give back to our "Great Performers" and keeps us anchored to our company roots as a support system for fellow artists.
