Doris Sitter Memorial Scholarship

Doris Sitter was instrumental in the creation of the Moose Jaw Festival of Dance. She taught dance in Moose Jaw for over 60 years, and many of her students went on to open studios of their own throughout Saskatchewan and Canada. Doris always recognized and emphasized the value in dance education and competition performance – not only for the “front and center” dancers but for the back-row chorus dancers as well. Established in 2011, the Moose Jaw Festival of Dance is pleased to offer this scholarship in her memory.

Criteria:

  • Must be a graduate during the current school year.

  • Must be continuing post-secondary studies at a recognized institution (not necessarily dance related).

  • Must be currently enrolled in a certified dance program at a Moose Jaw Studio.

  • Participation in the Moose Jaw Festival of Dance will be a primary consideration.

  • Academics and school/community involvement are also considered
