The SAM Project

The Sam Project: Supporting Students of the Arts & Music. To positivity impact the life of an artist. Our mission is to make a meaningful impact in the lives of artists by inspiring and motivating them to pursue their passions. We strive to provide the resources and access needed to open doors and create opportunities, helping dancers achieve their goals—no matter how big or small.

Dance was a defining part of Sam’s life and career—a way for her to express herself both on and off the stage. In honor of her passion and dedication, we aim to celebrate the meaningful, life-changing work of young dancers by providing financial support to those who need it most.

From aspiring performers to future educators, pursuing a degree in dance or the arts requires not only talent, discipline, and unwavering commitment, but significant financial investment. Like many students in the arts, dancers often face rising tuition costs that can make their goals feel out of reach.

Through The SAM Project, we are proud to help ease that burden by awarding scholarships to several deserving dancers, supporting them as they continue their journey in the arts.

Dancers must submit an application to be considered for one of the available scholarships.

All applications must be submitted by 5/11/26 and the recipients will be announced on 5/16/26 during The SAM Project showcase.
