Dear Friends of Dance,

With this award, I have focused on my studies, activities, and projects that support my goals as an artist.

[FSU School of Dance] is helping strengthen and enhance my skills as a Creative Director, Choreographer, Educator, and Community Activist. Within the multiplicity of roles that I am now in, the work and mission that I have set forth as I continue to pursue my degree is to provide opportunities for more black voices and bodies to be seen and heard.

Thank you for your generosity!

I am a child of two very hard-working parents, who would sacrifice anything for me to achieve my dreams. I am the first member of my family to attend a University. Without [tuition assistance from] Florida Prepaid or Bright Futures, this scholarship is extremely helpful and appreciated by me and my family.

Angelina Fernandez, BFA Class of 2024
