Orson Hollinger

Memorial Scholarship

In December 2020, I lost my son, Orson, due to premature birth. So many people from the dance community rallied around me and my family when we needed it the most and I would like to give back. Dance has brought me such joy since I started taking classes when I was little and I wish I could have shared that joy with my son. To celebrate his short but meaningful life, the Orson Hollinger Memorial Scholarship is a $500 cash award given to a dancer who exudes a love for dance in their performance. This scholarship is meant to go towards anything dance related in the recipient’s life to enrich their learning experience and passion for dance.
