To qualify for this program, the skaters must be novice level (or above) in free skating, pairs, dance, synchronized team skating or theatre on ice. A letter, along with a certificate of achievement, will be addressed to the school administrator and sent to the skater. The skater has the responsibility to deliver the letter and certificate to his/her school. http://www.usfigureskating.org/content/gradsenior.pdf
