By the end of the 20th century, Juilliard had established itself as a prestigious performing arts school. At the time, graduates comprised approximately 20 percent of the [[Big Five (orchestras)|Big Five]] American Orchestras and half of the [[New York Philharmonic]]. Juilliard's endowment nearly tripled over the 1980s, reaching a quarter billion in the mid-1990s.
