In 2025, The Melanie and Rosalie Albright Foundation awarded $11,400 in scholarships to young performers across central Indiana—our biggest year ever. Every dollar helped a student access vocal lessons, dance classes, acting training, workshops, and opportunities they would not have had without support.

Now, we’re building the scholarship fund for 2026, and the need continues to grow. More students are applying, and no young artist should be turned away because of financial hardship.

This fund exists to honor the legacy of Melanie and Rosie Albright, whose love for the performing arts continues to inspire everything we do. Your gift directly supports students ages 6–21 who are passionate about theatre, dance, and the performing arts.

Our Goal: $15,000

Reaching this goal ensures we can meet rising scholarship requests and continue opening doors for young performers who rely on this support to grow, learn, and shine.

💜 Every donation—large or small—helps a young artist step into their potential.
💙 Thank you for investing in the next generation of performers.

The Melanie and Rosalie Albright Foundation exists to support youth participation in all aspects of the performing arts. We offer enrichment and needs-based scholarships to cover the cost of participation in the performing arts. Without the Melanie and Rosalie Albright Foundation’s scholarship program and free theatrical opportunities, young people with a passion for performing may miss out on pursuing their dreams.
