Scholarship to honor Drew Gordon and Alice Flink

The Drew Gordon - Alice Flink Scholarship for Dance Fund is being established, in part, to honor the memory of the brilliant and buoyant Drew Gordon, who served as the Musician in Residence for the Dance Program at the University of Minnesota for more than 20 years. Drew's stellar talent as a pianist was matched by his charming personality and his passionate commitment to his students.

The Drew Gordon - Alice Flink Scholarship for Dance will identify prospective students who, like Drew, have devoted themselves to the study of music as well as dance. It will encourage the exploration of excellence in the exchange between embodied art and the musician, with the additional goal of enlightening musicians to the field of dance musicianship. By creating a scholarship in Drew's name, we remember this great artist and dear friend of the University of Minnesota's Dance Program.

Fantastic News!

Thanks to a final big push, we not only met, but exceeded our goal of $25,000 in the Drew Gordon and Alice Flink Scholarship Fund, needed to reach the endowment level and qualify for the Presidential Match which will add approximately $1,200 to the fund annually .

The first scholarship award may be possible for the '11-'12 academic year where the award level will be about a $1,250 scholarship award for the first year. For the '12-13 academic year and beyond, it would be around $2,500 annually.
Donations are always welcome! The larger the fund, the larger the scholarship award!
