November 29, 2016 - Amy Pass, a Panola College student from Carthage, was awarded the first annual massage therapy scholarship by Massage Envy of Longview. Pass will complete the one-year massage therapy program in February 2017.
The Massage Therapy program provides 500 hours of instruction by licensed massage therapy instructors as required by the Texas Department of State Health Services. Classes are offered in the evening and on alternate Saturdays beginning in early March and running through the next February. The current class of massage therapy students will graduate and be ready to take their licensure exam by the end of February.
Hailey Miller, LMT-I, the massage therapy instructor, not only teaches the students but also networks with employers to help students find jobs. Miller’s relationship with Massage Envy helped secure the scholarship for Pass.
“I’m so proud of all our students and this scholarship really highlights Amy’s accomplishment,” says Miller.
