Endowments

The IEBA endowment fund provides scholarships to students enrolled in accredited entertainment business or performance programs at select schools across the country.

IEBA currently awards scholarships in honor of two of IEBA’s founders and legendary talent buyers: Harry A. "Hap" Peebles and Don Romeo in addition to industry giants J.P. Williams, George Moffett and Barbara Hubbard, veteran talent agent Barry Jeffrey, and industry leaders Steve Tolman and Mike Smardak. We are always taking recommendations for adding new scholarships to honor industry leaders who have exemplified a willingness to give back to their community, industry, peers and future generations of leaders.

As we celebrate serving over 42 years in the live entertainment industry, we are encouraging all members to donate to one of our very worth scholarships. Each one makes a huge difference to a student who's trying to graduate and become the future of our industry.

To make a tax-deductible donation to one of our scholarships, please mail your check directly to the appropriate school.
