By providing grants and scholarships and offering workshops to local dancers, BESFI enables young artists to participate in ballet programs that are not readily available to them or which are beyond their financial resources. In providing professionally staged dance performances, BESFI is able to promote the arts by catering to the need for young artists to perform and the community's desire for quality entertainment. To everyone's benefit, BESFI has had unparalleled success in bringing noted guest artists and teachers to Long Island.<br> </font></div> <p align="center"><marquee style="font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: 18pt; color: rgb(256,256,256)" bgcolor="#0000ff" scrollamount="6" scrolldelay="1" vspace="1">*** The 6-Week BESFI Summer Intensive Kicks Off On July 16, 2012 ***</marquee></p> <div align="center"> <strong><font size="3" face="Book Antiqua">BESFI SCHOLARSHIPS</font></strong></div> <div> <font id="role_document" color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2"> <p align="justify"><b>BESFI awarded $5,000 in summer program scholarships for 2011 thus pushing total cumulative scholarships and stipends to a value of nearly $235,000.
