CUSGA Bursary and Scholarship Applications :
June 11, 2018
At our June competition Marg Johnson talked to the dancers about the SCHOLARSHIPS & BURSARIES offered at the Calgary Highland Games. As Marg mentioned many of these scholarships get very few applicants even though they are worth quite a bit of money!
Be sure to check it out! This is a great way for a dancer to help pay for their own dancing! You do not need to be a Premier dancer and there are options for dancers under 18 years of age and dancers over 18.
