The Performing Arts League announced recipients of its 2021 grants and scholarships awards totaling $11,600 to support youth involvement in the performing arts. This year, PAL awarded six grants to encourage the expansion and development of youth arts programs that recruit, develop or train young students. Scholarships were awarded to two young performers to encourage their further development and training.

"The mission of the Performing Arts League is to promote youth involvement in the Performing Arts," Greg Miller, league president, said. "We do this by supporting meaningful projects and opportunities for young performing artists both individually and as part of a group experience. Especially during this difficult year, we consider our support for these students essential to the growth and well-being of our community. We look forward to continuing this important work in the future."
