UNSCA has revealed that Broadway performer Caitlin Carter will give a $1 million gift to The School of Dance at UNCSA, to establish a scholarship to provide one out-of-state high school ballet student per year with full tuition, room and board.
Carter is a graduate of the high school ballet program in the School of Dance. Her Broadway credits include “Victor/Victoria,” “Swing,” “Chicago,” and more. Carter also served for 14 years as a board member of Career Transition For Dancers.
“You never know where solid training and a willingness to take chances is going to take you,” she shared. "Everybody has a different path. You have to be open to possibilities, and having a comprehensive education and rigorous coaching is going to lead you to a lot of places. My strong ballet technique made me stand out when I got to Broadway. I hope that this scholarship will help future generations of performers stand out on any stage."
