U.S. Polo Assn., the official brand of the United States Polo Association (USPA), has recently founded two $2,500 scholarships and contributed several fashion design essentials to the A.W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts in West Palm Beach, Florida.
The public, all-arts magnet high school of A.W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts was founded in 1989 as the top arts high school in the nation’s 11th largest school district, the School District of Palm Beach County. All donations for the high school were made through the Dreyfoos School of the Arts Foundation. The objective of the foundation is to broaden and further develop both art and academic programs at the A.W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts. Contributions enrich curriculums for the school that can’t be financed through the School District.
“On behalf of the Foundation and the Dreyfoos School, I would like to thank U.S. Polo Assn. for the generous gifts. Art, music and design supplies are expensive, and the donated items were a welcome surprise for our deserving students,” stated Chris Snyder, the Executive Director of the Dreyfoos School of the Arts Foundation. “We also look forward to partnering with U.S. Polo Assn. on the scholarships for one male and one female student who will graduate this spring from our school.”
The scholarship winners will be established by the school and named in May.
The president and CEO of USPA Global Licensing J. Michael Prince spoke about the impact of the A.W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts. He said, “I’ve been to A.W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts several times now to meet with students, and they are some of the most talented, creative and confident young adults I’ve ever talked with. It’s these students who will be the industry’s future fashion designers and creatives. We are lucky to have the school right here in the backyard of our U.S. Polo Assn. Global Creative Center in West Palm Beach.”
