Vision
The Jessica Karrat Dance Scholarship Fund is dedicated to providing
scholarships for individuals who wish to participate in the art
of dance or organizations that benefit individuals participating
in the art of dance. It seeks to provide aspiring dancers with the
opportunity to fulfill their dreams whether to start a dance career
or continue with their dance education.
