The Jadin Wong Fellowship recognizes an emerging Asian American dance artist whose work shows strong potential for greater achievement and who hopes to make a significant impact on the Asian American and New York City artistic community as a whole. The fellowship aims to recognize exemplary work that will continue to inspire young artists and the Asian American community for years to come.

This award is a tribute to the life and work of renowned Chinese American actress, dancer, and comedienne Jadin Wong (1913–2010), a pioneer and innovator of Asian American performing arts. The award is made possible by the Jadin Wong Educational Fund at the New York Community Trust, established to continue her dream of supporting aspiring artists, musicians, and dancers of Asian descent.

The Jadin Wong Fellowship is awarded to an early-career Asian American dancer/choreographer, age 30 or younger, whose work shows outstanding promise and who may benefit from further professional artistic development. The fellow receives a cash stipend of $6,000 and an eight-month fellowship tailored to respond to the unique needs of their practice. The fellowship includes artistic mentorship with a mid-career to established dance professional, career coaching, and a range of technical support.

Fellowship Description:

In addition to the cash stipend of $6,000, the fellow will participate in an eight-month program beginning in May 2023 and ending in December 2023. The fellowship is structured in three phases, each facilitating a different area of professional development
