Reaching the Young Artist Destination
As Interlochen’s centennial approaches, we want more young artists who are offered admission to be able to say “yes” to our offer of admission. Our goal is to meet the demonstrated need of each admitted student. This is the heart of our drive to make Interlochen a Young Artist Destination, and it’s why Access to Interlochen is one of our fundamental pillars of Vision 2028. Donors have responded to this challenge, accelerating our progress to open new doors for young artists through scholarship support.
Converting Family Legacy to Enduring Scholarship For alumna Nancy Pollack, as for so many who have grown in artistry on our campus, Interlochen has been a family affair. Starting in the late 1950s, several generations of Pollacks enjoyed summers under the stately pines. Now, that cherished family history at Interlochen has inspired a gift that will help the next generation follow their own artistic journeys as they are drawn here.
Nancy (IAC/NMC 57-61, UNIV 62) studied piano, dance, and harp during her years at Interlochen. Her sister Marjorie Schwartz (IAC/NMC 58-63) followed her as a drama student. Nancy’s sons continued the family tradition of attending Camp together: Jonathan (IAC/NMC 81) studied cello, Samuel (IAC/NMC 81-82) clarinet. The newly created Pollack Family Camp Scholarship is an outgrowth and extension of the Pollacks’ own Interlochen heritage, designated for students—of any arts area or division—attending Camp.
