Jeanne Betts was one of the original Owners and Instructors of Elite Massage School and past away on September 7, 2026 due to cancer.  However, she dedicated herself to helping students understand the basics of massage. When students felt stressed or needed extra help, she offered support and compassion, helped them work toward passing grades, and lifted their spirits so they could find confidence in their own abilities. This scholarship grant honors her legacy of encouragement and belief in every student\u2019s ability to grow and succeed.  <\/span><\/p>\n
