The John L. Dales
Scholarship Fund
The John L. Dales Scholarship Fund was created in 1973 in honor of the Guild's longtime Executive Secretary. Over the last 25 years, the Scholarship Fund has helped qualified Guild members and their children reach their educational potential by providing more than two million dollars in scholarships for study at accredited institutions of higher learning.
The number and amount of the awards to be given are determined annually. There are two types of scholarships: The "standard" scholarships are for eligible members and children of eligible members for college educations. The "transitional" scholarships are designed to assist those experienced SAG members who need further education in order to broaden or change their careers, and who require financial assistance in order to obtain it. This program is restricted to SAG members who have achieved a specific lifetime income in the jurisdiction of the union over a specified number of years, who can give evidence of some connection, through employment, education, or volunteer activity, with their new area of interest, and who can establish financial need. The awards apply only to accredited and licensed universities, colleges, junior colleges, adult specialty schools or trade/vocational schools.
All past recipients have graduated from college. Many have gone on to graduate school and several have started their own successful businesses. The Foundation is proud that many recipients of the John L. Dales scholarships have risen to leadership positions in the entertainment industry.
