Your gift helps students to come as they are...
Graci Jackson
I am hoping to work in the nonprofit sector and then eventually become an entrepreneur combining my interests in the arts, health and wellbeing, hospitality, and environmental sustainability. The Helen P. Alkire Scholarship has specifically impacted me by giving me financial support to pursue my many academic and personal interests and goals at a top academic institution. As a result, I once again offer you my humblest thanks.
Sydney Jones-Rumph
Dance has always been a very important part of my life, and I am very grateful to have continuous support in my education and my dancing dreams. Being an out of state student can be challenging when it comes to tuition costs therefore, I am extremely thankful that I was gifted these additional funds that I can put towards my tuition. This is crucial because I got a job as a dance teacher at a nearby studio and having a little extra money made it possible for me to pursue my goal of becoming a dance teacher.
Mariya (Masha) Moiseytseva
I was drawn to The Ohio State Department of Dance in particular because of the countless opportunities and real-world connections it provides for all students. We have it in our power to establish relationships that will last outside of this department and open doors for us in professional settings and that in itself makes all the difference and sets this program apart from all others. The motto “Come as you are, leave as you want to be” has genuinely inspired me to discover who I am through my movement and to embrace the artist I am becoming.

A conversation with recipients of student support funds across the arts
October 29, 2020
Graduate student Erin Hoppe (Arts Administration, Education and Policy) visits with Tyla Daniel (Theatre/Communication), Caitlyn Higley (Dance) and Devin Sheller (Music Education) to discuss how donor support is assisting them this year – a year like no other. Hear how the performing arts in particular have found creative ways to support teaching, learning and creative expression.
Our panel today reflects on the future of the arts at Ohio State – celebrating the on-going construction of new state-of-the-art facilities for Music, Theatre and Moving Image Production, which will complete a multi-year plan that creates an arts gateway to the Columbus Campus.
