Thanks to support from the Robert Salzer Foundation, the Foundation’s Performance Award provides assistance to local students who take tertiary education in a performance related discipline.   All aspects of performance, for example drama, dance, music (instrumental and vocal) can be supported.  The key aim of the program is to support those with the talent, drive and ambition to make a professional career in their chosen field.

2019 winners were Pearl Hunter from Harmers Haven and Jasmine Susic from Inverloch. In 2019 Pearl will be completing Year 12 of a theatre arts course at the Victorian College of the Arts Secondary School. Jasmine is currently studying at the New Zealand School of Dance in Wellington, and is still involved with the Lisa Pellin dancers when back home in Inverloch.

In 2018 Finnan Donohue of Inverloch was the award winner. In 2018 Finnan embarked on the first year of a Creative Arts (Drama) course at Deakin University’s Burwood Campus.
