Broadway Veteran Caitlin Carter Gives $1M to Launch UNCSA Ballet Scholarship
Carter shared, "I hope that this scholarship will help future generations of performers stand out on any stage."
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."
