From First Steps to the Ailey/Fordham BFA program, The Ailey School is training the future stars of dance. Maintaining The Ailey School’s standard of excellence and inclusive student body involves annual expenses that exceed money earned from tuition.

Parents help bridge that gap — contributions from parents like you cover approximately 20% of operating expenses each year.

As a non-profit organization, we look to parents, true ambassadors of The Ailey School, to help us fill the gap!

The Parents Annual Fund provides ongoing support for the School and vital scholarships and housing assistances for Ailey School students in need. With your help, we can ensure that the next generation of dancers continues to receive high-caliber training, professional opportunities, and the support services necessary for success.
