Who We Are

The Barbara Hill Moore and Bruce R. Foote Foundation was founded in 1995, although scholarship awards in memory of Bruce R. Foote have been given annually since 1989. The Foundation’s mission is to encourage and support students with a background that has been historically under represented in the advanced pursuit of classical vocal study. Scholarships are awarded for matriculation in the Graduate and Artist Certificate Programs at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.

The Foote Scholar, Schollmaier Scholar, David M. Crowley and Rosemary Haggar Vaughan Grants and Scholarships are awarded annually for matriculation in the graduate and artist certificate programs at SMU and are chosen on the basis of talent, career potential, scholarship and financial need.
