FDF Scholarships
The trustees at FDF will be presenting five scholarships in the amount of $1,000 Savings Bonds in San Jose in January. All deserving young adults in our diocese are eligible for this award. Deserving means not only participation in FDF but also in other church ministries at our mission and their own communities. The only requirement is that your child attends the upcoming FDF weekend next month.

Father Andrew has been given the task to recognize one or two dancers at our mission, to write letters of recommendations on their behalf and to forward this information to FDF. In the letter of recommendation, he will need to discuss your child's involvement in the activities of our mission including Sunday school, GOYA, as well as mentioning additional community services that take place outside of our mission and anything else you wish to share about your child. The FDF Board of Trustees will be happy to consider all as potential recipients from all the churches that participate at FDF for one of the awards.

If you would like to forward your child's name for consideration, please email Father Andrew at fatherlesko@msn.com with your child's name, address, contact information, why your child deserves this award as well as all the information in the second paragraph above. If Father had his full say, we are sure he would forward all of our children's names; however, only 5 dancers from all of FDF will be recognized.

We have recently found out about the parameters of these scholarships and were brought to our attention. In working with Father Andrew, we want to make sure that EVERY FDF dancer/parent is aware of these scholarships. Please act as soon as you can in order to give adequate time for Father Andrew to make his recommendations and then forward everything to FDF since the competition is less than four weeks away.
