Supreme Audio / Hanhurst's Tape Service
Caller's College Scholarship Information
Dear Caller:
The Supreme Audio scholarship was established by Bill and Peggy Heyman, owners of Supreme Audio/Hanhurst's Tape & Record Service to further professional caller education. We feel very strongly that proper professional training will enhance the recipients calling performance, and ultimately, the square dance activity as a whole. The scholarship award may not exceed the cost of attending an appropriate school. Awards will be either full tuition or partial tuition scholarships, depending on the number of qualified applicants.
It is hoped that the awarding of this scholarship will help enable both new and experienced callers to further their professional education by attending a callers school providing a full Callerlab curriculum. All awards will be for the specific school mentioned in the application and are not transferrable. Should the recipient not attend the specified school, the award must be returned and will be given to the runner up.
Due to the number expected, applications will not be acknowledged or returned. The recipients will be announced both in our own Hanhurst's Tape & Record Service newsletter as well as in American Square Dance magazine.
Applications must be submitted by May 15th to the address shown below. All applications will be carefully reviewed and the decision is final. Recipients will be notified as soon as possible.
Please note that the requested reference letters are very important in the decision making process.
Sincerely,
Bill & Peggy Heyman
Supreme Audio, Inc./Hanhurst's Tape & Record Service
PS. We encourage the copying of this letter and application for other callers who might be interested in applying for a scholarship.
