Directors - How You Can Help Your Dancers
Our goal is to award ten (10) $1000 scholarships/gifts to seniors of SCAU member teams in good standing. Here are the details and how you can help:
- Deadline for scholarship application is March 15 each year.
- Please help your students by providing a letter of recommendation and making sure all information (transcripts, recommendations, acceptance letter and resume are included).
- If you know of corporations or businesses that would like to sponsor a scholarship, please contact Karie Seubert, 937-667-6754, as soon as possible. A representative from that company may even want to present the scholarship/gift. Should a team want to sponsor a scholarship, the director may make the presentation.
- Encourage parents to participate in the scholarship fundraisers that are being offered, i.e. the car wash on the 1st Saturday in August.
- Your team may wish to sponsor a scholarship, even if you do not host a contest. Contact Karie Seubert for additional information.
WE HAVE GREAT DANCERS AND STUDENTS ON OUR TEAMS. THIS IS A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY TO HELP THEM FURTHER THEIR EDUCATION. LET’S HELP THEM!!!
