Texas Salsa Congress Scholarship
The Texas Salsa Congress along with its promoter Ruby Rivera is dedicated in educating our dancers and students about the many options of higher education. Ruby Rivera a graduate of The University of Texas at Austin has had a career in Higher Education for over a decade.
This year the congress will continue with that tradition. In addition to the scholarships offered, universities and educational companies from across Texas will host a college fair for students/performers during the 2010 Texas Salsa Congress.
In addition, the 2010 Congress will also award professional
development stipends for dancers and participants to apply to use at
other events. The Texas Congress believes that all
instructors, performers, and participates should continue to learn.
Therefore, these stipends are open to all those who attend the Texas
Salsa Congress.
As a congress we want to set the bar on excellence. It is our passion to see our students who perform to continue on to higher education. It is our other goal to see all those who participate in the Texas Congress to have a chance to continue to learn and grow as dancers throughout the year at other Texas events.
