Annual Academic Awards for UDFSC 

This year University of Delaware Figure Skating Club will be honoring skaters who qualify for the Scholastic Honors Awards and the Gerard Renaud Memorial Award. Only UDFSC home club members are eligible to apply. Below is some information on what is needed to apply for the awards. The awards applications should be based on the most recent skating season, June 2nd (last year) - June 1st (current year), and the school year within that skating season. This year, instead of an essay, the skater will submit a short  1 -1.5 minute video on how skating has made a positive impact on the skater's life. The video is due by May 19th , and should be sent to udfsc@udfsc.com. Good luck, and we look forward to seeing your videos!
