SCHOLARSHIP FOR PERFORMING ARTS
May 28, 2008
Students planning to pursue studies in a recognized program in the performing arts are invited to apply for the Council of the Arts Fredericton Performing Arts Scholarship.
The annual award was established in 2007 and is valued at $5,000. It is intended for residents of the greater Fredericton area. The course of study can take place at any location and involve performance or production. Students at secondary, post-secondary and graduate levels are eligible.
Information and application guidelines are available through the Fredericton Community Foundation at www.fredfdn.ca.
Applications must be received on or before August 31.
The recipient will be determined by a three-member selection committee.
The recipient of the inaugural award last year was baritone Taylor White who is currently pursuing a Master of Music degree in opera performance at the Schulich School of Music at McGill University in Montreal.
From 1978 until 2006, Council of the Arts Fredericton presented quality performances to Fredericton audiences through its ONSTAGE and KIDSTAGE programs and encouraged young people in their study of the performing arts through awards and scholarships. The Performing Arts Scholarship was created with funds from the Council and is managed through a designated fund agreement with the Fredericton Community Foundation.
