Ms. Valerie Vrieze MA'71/MEd'75 & Family

Establishing a scholarship in memory of Dr. Jack Vrieze to honor his life, work, and love of theatre is a means to “pay it forward” and “pay it back.” He was granted scholarships at Kenyon College for his undergraduate years. Thanks to the G.I. Bill he was able to complete his graduate studies.
The Vrieze family spent many happy years assisting Dr. Vrieze with FSU productions and appreciate the many opportunities they had to share his enthusiasm and love for theatre.
The Theatre Arts have been an integral part of civilization for hundreds of centuries, and it is hoped they will flourish in the centuries ahead. This scholarship can give a helping hand to young students now and in the future seeking to pursue a career in the Theatre Arts.
