The Dallas Stars Elite Hockey Club (DSEHC) has established the Jennifer A. Kemp Scholarship Fund through a foundation grant from the Jennifer A. Kemp Foundation. When funds are available, 100% of these donations are used to offset the cost of season fees. Scholarships will be awarded based on financial need, parent/player involvement, and volunteer efforts. In the event you have a legitimate need for financial assistance, please read the Jennifer A. Kemp Scholarship Fund Guidelines carefully.
For the coming year, the application must be filled out completely and submitted no later then May 1st, prior to the year support is desired. Applications will be reviewed throughout the year for special situations.
The DSEHC will also accept qualifying donations on your player’s behalf from sources that you solicit i.e. friends, family, employers or local businesses under a separate DSEHC Sponsorship Program.
