Amanda M. Thomas Scholarship Fund

We are proud to announce the Amanda M. Thomas Scholarship Fund, created in loving memory of Amanda, whose vibrant spirit and passion for the arts touched so many lives.

As the director of our own Voices of Power choir as well as many other choirs around the world, Amanda left us far too soon, but her legacy lives on in the countless ways she championed access to arts education for all—believing deeply that creativity should never be a privilege, but a right.

This scholarship fund will support students from underserved communities in pursuing their artistic dreams, just as Amanda would have wanted. Whether it’s through singing, dance, or theater, we’re helping the next generation of artists rise—one opportunity at a time.

If you knew Amanda, you knew her light, her laugh, and her unwavering belief in the transformative power of music. Let’s honor her by ensuring that passion and talent never go unnoticed due to lack of resources.
