The Grete R. Bressner Scholarship Fund (GRBSF) is a 501c3 designated Non-Profit organization focused on encouraging children to participate in the performing arts. This includes but is not limited to, dance, drama, martial arts, and music. We believe that participation in such fields provides the opportunity to improve on important life skills such as creativity and expression, all while boosting a child’s self-confidence. 

GRBSF is established as a ‘membership organization’ with a primary purpose of providing financial assistance in the form of scholarships paid directly to member’s studios to support the tuition costs of its awardees.

To receive a scholarship, students must apply for, meet the eligibility criteria, and demonstrate their dedication to the program. GRBSF is committed to provide scholarships twice a year and comprise of meaningful portions of the tuition. 

Grete R. Bressner was our beautiful, loving, and vibrant mother, mother-in-law, and grandmother, and our family is deeply honored to support a cause that held such a special place in her heart. We hope that we are able to positively affect many lives and create a ripple effect of joy and goodness in the hearts of everyone involved. Our goal is to support more young children every year, both in Greater Providence and beyond.
