PACE
On Friday, April 28, at a special reception at the Hoff Family Arts & Culture Center, Korbin Horton, a senior at Treynor High School, received a $5,000 Hoff Family Arts Scholarship.
The Hoff Family Arts Scholarship program, a collaboration between Pottawattamie Arts, Culture & Entertainment and the Hoff Family, offers a chance for high school graduates planning to pursue an artistic field after graduation. A minimum of 40 hours of service or involvement with PACE or one of their partner organizations housed in the Hoff Center—Chanticleer Community Theater, Kanesville Symphony Orchestra, American Midwest Ballet, or Kitchen Council—must be logged by applicants in order to qualify.
Horton earned his service hours through his involvement with Chanticleer Community Theater. His most prominent role was as Aladdin in Chanticleer Children’s Theater production of “Aladdin Jr.”
In the fall, Horton will be attending Northwest Missouri State to pursue a degree in acting. He hopes to one day join a national touring theater company.
“There is no student more deserving of this opportunity than Korbin,” said PACE CEO Danna Kehm. “We can’t wait to see what he does next, and we’re so grateful to Ted and Polly Hoff for helping to support his artistic and academic goals.”
The next deadline to apply for the Hoff Family Arts Scholarship will be in March 2024. For the full list of scholarship criteria and application instructions, email info@paceartsiowa.org.
