Among the first areas of support by the Foundation were the Blue Lake Fine Arts Academy and the Chelsea Center for the Development of Art, programs whose activities were close personal interests of Aziza. The endowments honor Aziza’s passion for the creative and performing arts and provide assistance to deserving pre-teens from the Southeast Michigan area.

Blue Lake Fine Arts Academy
The Blue Lake Fine Arts Academy’s Aziza Ghori Memorial Endowment Fund was created in May 2003 as part of Blue Lake’s permanent endowment. The Fund provides perpetual scholarship assistance for Blue Lake’s annual two-week Music Camp for one student enrolled at Henry Haig Elementary School in Dearborn, Michigan (which Aziza attended). The primary selection criteria are creative passion and financial need.

Blue Lake’s Fine Arts Camp was founded in 1966 and provides a summer music program with art, dance and theater programs for talented young people. Since the establishment of the US$5000 Aziza Ghori Memorial Endowment Fund, three Haig Elementary School 5th grade students have received the scholarship and attended Blue Lake Fine Arts Academy’s specialized music program at the Camp for two weeks of the summer. The endowment will be considered fully-endowed at US$15,000 and will then provide a full tuition scholarship.

Chelsea Center for the Development of Arts (CCDA)
In September 2003, the Foundation made a US$2,500 grant to the Chelsea Center for the Development of Arts to endow a Scholarship in perpetuity in Aziza's name and to honor her love for the arts.

The endowment funds an annual grant to a 5th grade student from the Chelsea school system who is enthusiastic about the arts and shows promise as an artist.

The grant is for a one-week summer camp or a six-week Fall/Winter session. To introduce the grant, a one-time youth workshop for all elementary school-aged students was held in November 2003.
