The Mae L. Wien Awards were established at the School of American Ballet by Lawrence A. Wien with his daughters and their families to honor Mrs. Wien, a great devotee of ballet who was also deeply interested in young people. Each year select students are chosen to receive awards for their outstanding promise, and a faculty member is honored for his or her distinguished service.

The 2021 Mae. L Wien Faculty Award for Distinguished Service was given to SAB’s long-time Music teacher, Jeffrey Middleton. The following students received this year’s Mae L. Wien Awards for Outstanding Promise:
