In May, Andree Beals ’12 was awarded a four-year scholarship from George Washington University’s Presidential Scholars in the Arts program. GWU’s department of theater and dance offers this award to incoming freshmen studying the disciplines of dance, acting or design and technical production. Beals received the scholarship after submitting an application and performing an audition.

“I am extremely honored to be given this scholarship and cannot wait to dance at GW,” Beals said. “I’m glad that my time as a company member at [Teen Dance Company], a contemporary dance company in the Mountain View, as well as my work with other San Francisco choreographers, has moved me forward into such a great dance program.”
