Once again in 2011, Beneath the Arch Concert Series Society is offering bursaries to enable promising young performing artists to enhance their experiences and skills in a performing arts field.
The bursaries are available to Grade 4 to 12 students who live in or attend school in:
- the MD of Foothills, west of 16 Street W
- Turner Valley, Black Diamond, Millarville, Longview.
Beneath the Arch is offering a total of $1,500, which may be awarded to one student or split among several students, depending on the quality of the applications received.
Students who are pursuing an interest in music (instrument and/or vocal), dance or theatre are invited to submit an application.
Bursary winners may use their awards toward paying for lessons, the cost of admission, tuition or registration, paying for event or competition fees, rental fees (for instruments, studio space, etc) or buying materials, books, costumes or learning aids.
To apply for a bursary, download a bursary application from www.beneaththearch.org. The student's bursary application package must include the application form, plus:
1. A letter that includes:
- the student's address (both mailing address and street address or physical location)
- what grade the student is in
- an explanation of how the student will use the bursary to further enhance experience or skills in a performing arts field
- a demonstration of financial need
2. A letter of recommendation from one of the following sources:
- teacher
- performing arts instructor, coach or director.
3. A resumé or portfolio of the student's work in their chosen performing arts field. This could include a tape, CD or DVD.
Packages should be mailed to Beneath the Arch, Box 4, Turner Valley, AB, T0L 2A0. Packages must be postmarked no later than May 31st. Beneath the Arch will award the bursaries by June 30th.
