About The Anthony Fantroy Memorial Scholarship
This scholarship program has been developed to motivate and support college aged students who may not otherwise have the resources to pursue postsecondary education. What sets this program apart from more traditional scholarship opportunities is the emphasis on a student’s background and personal history as criteria for the final award determination.
Anthony’s Legacy
Named in honor of our beloved Aveda Arts Dallas Educator, Anthony Fantroy, this scholarship program is a tribute to his enduring legacy.
Anthony was one of our most tenured Educators at Aveda Arts & Sciences Institutes Dallas and was a huge part of our culture and the student experience in Dallas for more than 9 years before he passed away in September 2019.
Anthony had a strong and positive influence on students in his class, as well as the entire student body and faculty. Education is the gift that lasts a lifetime, and this memorial scholarship program will continue Anthony’s legacy forward to future generations of students.

“I knew the day would come where I’d have to state how winning made me feel and I still have not been able to explain the feelings that I have. More than anything, I am excited about learning everything I need to know for all of my future endeavors. I truly believe other doors will be opening up for me that will leave me speechless as well. I can already see and feel how great I will be during and after graduating from school. Again, thank you from the lowest part of my heart.” – Darianna Whitehead
