Taber Merchant Scholarship and Accessibility Fund
In 2011, our vibrant 11-year-old student, Taber Merchant, passed away unexpectedly, inspiring the creation of the Taber Merchant Scholarship and Tuition Assistance Fund. This fund reflects Taber’s love, creativity, and passion for the arts, and helps families in
need pursue their dreams of dance and performance.
