Graduate To New Heights Scholarship
In the Heights tells the universal story of a working hard community striving to follow their dreams, hold on to their traditions and culture, all well sacrificing to create a better life for themselves and their children. In the Heights has partnered with CLEAR CHANNEL NY to create the "Graduate To New Heights Scholarship" based on the struggles that many families face to afford college, and inspired by Nina's story in the show. The Scholarship will help a deserving student achieve their dream of higher education.

To fund the scholarship, In The Heights with CLEAR CHANNEL NY will auction several prize packages on a specially created website
www.graduatetonewheights.com. The first auction started June 18, 2009 with a prize which includes having dinner and seeing the show with In The Heights Tony Winning Composer Lin-Manuel Miranda. Other packages will include a private salsa lesson with In The Heights Specialty Latin Dancer and Assistant Choreographer Luis Salgado; A Spa Day and Ladies Night Out package; The Perfect New York Date Package; and a package which includes a special walk-on cameo role in the Broadway show. All proceeds from the auctions will go toward the "Graduate To New Heights Scholarship" fund, along with an additional $2500 contributed to the fund by In the Heights and CLEAR CHANNEL NY.
