The Emergency Fund for Student Dancers (EFSD) is a financial loan and resource organization that exists to provide timely support to full-time dance students of its member schools. If students find themselves in a crisis situation where they need financial assistance, they should contact the administrator of their schools. If they need help finding health insurance, doctors and other service professionals, they should consult the EFSD handbook which is available free to all fulltime students.
