The Center Stage Jackson Scholarship Fund is an independent, self supporting project which does not use funds from any ongoing Center Stage Jackson accounts but relies entirely on donations which are explicitly designated for the Center Stage Jackson Scholarship Fund. Money for scholarships comes from individual contributions designated for this project.  If you would like to donate to this worthy cause, please contact Chuck Thor at (517) 414-8652.
