An unrestricted fund established for innovative programming and departmental needs such as the ability to bring in diverse guest artists who provide fresh ideas and new perspectives.

This fund enables our students to make valuable connections for their future careers and is open to contributions at any time through the University of Illinois Foundation.
Dance Department Student Scholarship Fund
This fund provides scholarships for students to participate in festivals and workshops around the world. These experiences can be a turning point in a student’s education.
Dance at Illinois Graduate Dance Center Fund
This fund will allow for the sustainable renovation of an underused space on campus so that our graduate students will have studios and office space in which they can significantly increase their depth of engagement. The creation of the Graduate Dance Center will allow us to truly meet the mission of ou MFA PRogram to foster substantive choreographic research that posits dance as a force in contemporary culture. This fund is open to contributions at any time through the University of Illinois Foundation.
