Spreading Morgan's smile by furthering her passions of dance, education and service.
Direct Scholarship Program
Program Overview
Beginning in the 2023-2024 academic year, we established of the Morgan Judd Foundation Scholarship! This program provides $7,500 academic scholarships to deserving undergraduate students who:
(i) embody the pillars and values of the Morgan Judd Foundation
(ii) are involved in arts programs (extracurricular or major/minor) and
(iii) have demonstrated significant financial need
Education – both of the mind and the heart – was central to Morgan’s life, and our goal is to be a bridge for dancers to access life-changing academic and artistic opportunities. You can learn more about the program and hear from Lauren directly at the video link above.
We are thrilled to announce that we have eighteen incredibly deserving recipients of the MJF Scholarship
for the 2026-2027 academic calendar year! This represents a 38% year-over-year increase in
number of grants deployed.
