Celebrating an extraordinary educator. Inspiring the next generation of performing arts talent.
The Marty Hancock Scholarship Fund, Inc.
The Marty Hancock Scholarship Fund, Inc. honors the extraordinary legacy of Martha "Marty" Hancock, a dedicated educator, mentor, and champion of the performing arts whose distinguished teaching career spanned nearly four decades.
Marty began her remarkable journey at Miami Palmetto Senior High School (1960–1964), where she inspired young performers and helped establish a tradition of excellence in theatre education.
She continued her career at Miami Senior High School (1964–1995), serving as Drama Director for 31 years. During those years, she shaped the lives of countless students, nurturing their creativity, developing their confidence, and encouraging them to pursue their dreams both on and off the stage.
Marty subsequently shared her knowledge and passion for theatre education at the University of Miami (1995–1997), extending her influence to another generation of aspiring performers.
Through her dedication to education and the performing arts, Marty inspired generations of students to develop their talents, pursue their dreams, and recognize their potential both on and off the stage.
Her legacy lives on in the artists, performers, and creators she encouraged.
The Marty Hancock Scholarship Fund, Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding educational opportunities for graduating Miami Senior High School students who demonstrate talent, dedication, and promise in drama, choral music, television and media production, technical theatre, and related performing arts.
Through charitable fundraising and responsible stewardship, we award annual supplemental scholarships to help deserving students offset the costs of tuition, books, educational supplies, fees, and other qualified postsecondary educational expenses.
By investing in the education and aspirations of young artists, performers, and creators, we help ensure that Marty Hancock’s legacy of teaching, encouragement, and inspiration continues for generations to come.
