PAT JACKSON MEMORIAL DANCE SCHOLARSHIP

Dance Scholarship

Pat Jackson was a dance educator who was presented the Bob Fosse Educator Award in L.A. in 1997. This scholarship is being given in her honor. Pat was positive, inspiring and a loving dance instructor that didn’t just motivate thousands of students in dance, but motivated and inspired others to live life to it’s fullest and follow their dreams. Everyone who met her felt a special energy and love she had for all of mankind. Pats legacy still lives on in the hearts of her dancers. Pat’s philosophy and love for dance is still very much alive previously at Dance Ten, and now her legacy still continues on at Solid Gold Dance.

This scholarship will be given and awarded to a dancer who will benefit and train very hard to be the best that they can possibly be in the art of dance. The dancer who qualifies for this scholarship must have at least 5 years of training at PRDT/SGD.

This dancer will be considered an ambassador to the dance studio and a top and positive role model for other students. Students need to submit a one page letter why they think they want and deserve the scholarship. Please describe why you like to dance and write a little information about yourself. Submit no later than May 26, 2024. This dance scholarship will last from July 2024 to June 2025.
