Help us REACH OUR $3,000 goal! Support the Dream Team Arts Scholarship & help a Titan student make their college dreams become reality.
Did you know that 73% of working artists and art-related professionals nationwide are White (non-Hispanic), while only 6.8% are Asian and 5.4% are Black?* This gap reflects the unequal access and opportunities students of color face as they begin their paths in the arts after high school. This scholarship aims to close that gap.
Supporting emerging artists from diverse backgrounds early on is critical. Representation matters — especially in the arts — and with your support, we can help open more doors for the next generation. Join us in making a difference today.
Whether you call Alexandria home, appreciate the arts (painting, theater, music, etc.), or want to help a young arts student get their start, we hope you'll support this scholarship! All funds will go directly to support a hard-working student who showed excellence during their time at Alexandria City High School. What better way to make a direct impact on a student's life?

Jenny Casey, a 2001 TC Williams alum, received a scholarship from the Scholarship Fund of Alexandria and graduated Cum Laude from James Madison University in 2005 with a BFA in Graphic Design. She's passionate about continuing The Dream Team Arts scholarship because she's seen firsthand the need for more diverse representation in the arts. She believes it's important to make sure everyone is given equal opportunity to express themselves from a young age, especially in the arts. Jenny is currently an Design Director and abstract painter in Brooklyn, NY.
About The Scholarship Fund of Alexandria
Since 1986, thanks to the generosity of the Alexandria community, the Scholarship Fund of Alexandria has awarded more than $20 million in new and renewed scholarships to over 5700 Alexandria students with financial need in pursuit of their college and career goals; hard working and high achieving students who might not otherwise have the chance to attend college. The Scholarship Fund of Alexandria provides career, and financial aid advising to ALL Alexandria City High School students and families. At today's Alexandria City High School (formerly TC Williams), two out of three students live at or below the federal poverty level. Just one scholarship can mean generations of financial stability and success for an Alexandria student and their family. Want to help make a difference? When we all give what we can, we can create a scholarship and help change a student's life. The Scholarship Fund of Alexandria and its many supporters are committed to help ensure that the next generation of Alexandria students with financial need will have the opportunity to attend and complete college. Scholarships really do change lives…forever.
