OTHER SCHOLARSHIPS CREATING IMPACT
Two new endowed scholarships — the Corson Skinner Dance Scholarship Endowment and the Corson Skinner Musical Theatre Scholarship Endowment — were established to ensure that Interlochen can attract the very best talent. Funded both by a grant from the Corson Family Foundation and a gift from the late Claire Corson Skinner (IAC/NMC 71) and her husband, Jim Skinner, these scholarships recognize the most talented students so that they are more likely to say “yes!” to an admission offer from Interlochen Arts Academy or Interlochen Arts Camp. Claire, who served for seven years on Interlochen’s Board of Trustees, was a generous philanthropic supporter who recognized the importance of merit scholarships and the impact they have on shaping the Interlochen community and experience.
The Herbert H. and Barbara C. Dow Endowed Academy Visual Arts Scholarship was established in 2022 in honor of Herbert H. and Barbara C. Dow, both of whom served on Interlochen’s Board of Trustees. The gift was made by Herbert and Barbara’s children, Willard Henry Dow II “Hank” and Pamela Dow Collie, through the Herbert H. and Barbara C. Dow Foundation. The Dow Family’s generous philanthropy was vital to the completion of Interlochen’s Sasaki campus master plan, which included the construction of the Herbert H. and Barbara C. Dow Center for Visual Arts. This merit-based scholarship advances support for the exceptionally talented students in visual arts.
