Student Success Fund
Funded by the DSA Friends Foundation and the Fill the Gap Campaign (more information below), the Student Success Fund (SSF) was established in the fall of 2014 to ensure that all DSA students experience success and are not limited by financial resources. This fund provides assistance with DSA-related expenses such as lessons, art supplies, performance attire, tutoring, and more. The long-term goal of this fund is to increase the diverse population of Denver School of the Arts and ensure that all students have the financial resources to be successful. We will be able to measure the success of our fund by the ability to maintain a diverse student population at DSA with the help of support offered through this fund.
DSA Friends is consistently working to make this program more equitable. We understand how important these funds are for planning students’ curriculum and will be opening application from March 10 to April 21 for the fall semester. This fourth quarter application deadline will ONLY be for courses (Advanced Placement and CU Succeeds). This application will not include options for attire, private lessons, tutoring, travel, or anything outside of course schedules. For more information on the Student Success Fund, please visit the DSA Friends website or contact info@dsafriends.org.
DSA Friends Foundation News
At the beginning of each school year, DSAFF launches our annual fundraising campaign, Fill the Gap. Denver School of the Arts currently faces a “gap” of $1,500 per student. This gap is the difference between what it costs to provide a comprehensive arts/academic education per student and what we receive per student from the district.
Fill the Gap was started as a way to unite all DSA families in raising money for the school as a whole, instead of by individual department. DSA is tuition free, but donation dependent. While funds raised benefit every arts department through funding guest artists & equipment, they also go towards academics, capital improvements, building safety/security, and technology upgrades.
