SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS AT DSHA
Scholarships are bridges — access to this outstanding educational opportunity for outstanding young women who do not have the financial means to experience DSHA. Scholarship sizes vary depending on a family’s financial need. Nearly 38 percent of DSHA students relied on scholarships, large and small, to attend DSHA in 2020–21. Scholarships come in two different forms: endowed and non-endowed. Endowed scholarships provide permanent, perennial support for students with qualities identified by the particular donor. Non-endowed scholarships are one-time gifts that support students with qualities identified by the donor.
