Some
general guidelines
| • |
Scholarship
recipients must be residents of the United States or programs must
benefit United States citizens. |
| • |
A
minimum award of one scholarship, in the amount of $500 per year,
is being awarded to assure that the scholarship will be significant
enough to provide financial assistance. |
| • |
The
Fund will allow recipients to attend all two and four-year colleges,
universities, and dance schools in the United States. In addition,
the Fund will allow recipients to also attend workshops, seminars
and special dance art events. |
| • |
To
prevent misappropriation, each scholarship grant is issued directly
from the Jessica Karrat Dance Scholarship Fund to a non-profit institution
or non-profit program for the benefit of the recipient.
|
What
we what you to know
| • |
Scholarships
are available to both individuals and organizations. |
| • |
Scholarships
