As a member of the Class of 2021 at Liberty High School, Brooke spread her light on her school and community through her dedication to the Liberty Dance Team as well as her commitment to helping those in need through Difference Makers.
The Langland Family Be A Light Foundation has created the Brooke Anne Langland Be A Light Dance & Difference Maker Scholarships for Liberty High School Seniors in honor of her. Scholarships are open to Seniors at Liberty High School who are either members of the dance team or are members of the Difference Makers. Eligible students can be pursing either a 2-year or 4-year
degree at an accredited college/university. Click here to download the scholarship application.
In addition, we also sponsor one scholarship that is awarded at the Iowa State Dance & Drill Team Association State Championships in December that is open to senior dancers from across the state. An application for the ISDTA scholarships is available through their website.
