Fred Kasper Memorial Scholarship

Thanks to the generosity of our individual and corporate donors, Boxwood is pleased to continue the Fred Kasper Memorial Scholarship program and offer two tuition-free positions for this summer's festival & workshop in Nova Scotia.

2010 Scholarship Program

The 2010 Fred Kasper Memorial Scholarship is open to all applicants who will be under 30 years of age as of July 1, 2010. Scholarships are open to players of all instruments, singers and dancers. We typically grant one scholarship to a young artist who is in primary or secondary school (age 18 or under), and second scholarship to a young adult (age 19-29).

Interested applicants should submit the following:
- a short written description of your musical and extra-musical interests and experience, including your thoughts on what you can bring to Boxwood and how Boxwood will benefit you and your artistic pursuits.
- a short recorded sample of your playing, singing or video of your dancing.
