Beneath the Arch Bursaries
50/50 draw proceeds are available for bursaries to be awarded at the discretion of the Beneath the Arch Awards Committee. The bursary was designed to enable young performing artists to enhance their experience and skills in a performing arts field. We define "performing arts" as any creative, artistic endeavor that is active and viewed by an audience (such as dance, voice, music, theatre). The bursary can be used toward any of the following:
lessons
admission or registration costs (tuition)
event or competition fees
rental fees (for instruments, studio space, etc)
materials, books, costumes, learning aids
We may ask bursary winners for proof that they used the bursary for one of these activities or costs.
Applications for bursaries for this year are now closed!
