Dance Scholarships

The Dewey  Kennedy Youth Dance Scholarship

The Dewey Kennedy Scholarship Fund was started in 1996 in memory of Dewey Kennedy, who loved the dance, Junior Shag dancers and the camaraderie of Shag dancing as much as anybody around. 

Charlie Womble, Jackie McGee, Norfleet Jones, and the CSA Dancers thought the scholarship would be something Dewey would appreciate and would help to keep alive a memory of Dewey and the dance he loved.

The Dewey Kennedy Scholarship is open to Junior Shaggers who are 22 years old and younger who are planning to or are currently attending college. The applicant must submit a written paper of no less than 150 words about this subject:

"What person in your life has taught you the most valuable lesson?" 

Proof of acceptance or enrollment to an accredited college is required.
