The Entertainment Community Fund, a national human services organization which supports the needs of those working in performing arts and entertainment, has announced five recipients of its 2025 Alex Dubé Scholarship Program. This year, the Entertainment Community Fund awarded $10,000 scholarships to Claire Glavin, Jacob Gutierrez, Fatima Logan-Alston, Beth Maslinoff and Betsy Schaefer Roob.
Through the Alex Dubé Scholarship Program, Career Transition for Dancers (a program of the Entertainment Community Fund) works to support the education of dancers to build their next professional platforms. These one-time awards of up to $10,000 per recipient are distributed annually to dancers enrolled in accredited graduate degree programs for assistance with tuition.
Career Transition for Dancers recognizes that dancers face life changes for a variety of reasons, such as injury, age and more. The program offers career counseling, educational scholarships and panel discussions to assist dancers in navigating life changes and exploring new opportunities.
The Dancers’ Resource, also a program of the Entertainment Community Fund, was founded by Tony Award-winning performer Bebe Neuwirth to address the unique situations dancers face as a consequence of the physically demanding nature of their work, coupled with the significant financial challenges of earning a living in dance.
“We extend our sincerest congratulations to this year’s incredible group of applicants and the scholarship recipients,” said Neuwirth in a statement. “We look forward to seeing all that Claire, Jacob, Fatima, Beth and Betsy achieve as they transition into the next stage of their careers.”
