    age of 26 as of July 4, 2024
2) attend Wild Wild Westie 2024
3) Complete the
application by 9 am CST
Monday June 24.  The application asks for your college/university information, a photo, a short letter of recommendation from your instructor/coach/club president/club advisor/community leader (to be sent separately), and four short essays (no more than 500 words MAX for each one) to the following questions.

1. When did you start dancing and what are your goals for this next year?
2. How would CSS be able to help you achieve these goals (e.g. do you have a financial need?)
3. How have you contributed to your dance community in this last year?

4. What do you feel will be your contribution to the dance community as a College Swing Scholar?

As a College Swing Scholar - you will be a representative of the organization and will be asked to contribute to blogs detailing your experiences and serving in future search committees.  Furthermore, you will be expected to abide by a code of conduct detailed on the Wild Wild Westie website at all events that you attend. 

All applications are due by 9 am CST Monday June 24, 2024.  

At Wild Wild Westie, all candidates will be given a wristband indicating their status as a candidate.  Our search committee will be around to get to know you.  They will be observing as fellow attendees, some will be teaching workshops and judging, and others will be there to chat and learn more about you.

We will be judging on 

1) Potential to contribute to the community (as an organizer, leader, teacher)

2) Sportsmanship

3) Would this scholarship help you in a substantial way to progress your dance? 

   (e.g. financial need)
