Scottish Weekend (SW) promotes Scottish Country dancing; provides attendees with instruction in Scottish Country dancing; and provides the opportunity to participate in social Scottish Country dancing programs. The SW Scholarship Program was developed to give financial assistance to academic students, new dancers (6 months experience minimum), more experienced dancers in need of financial assistance to participate, and musicians learning techniques for playing SCD music.

 

Your application for assistance is due to the SW registrar by August 1: Bill Wallace, 12218 Fleming Lane, Bowie, MD 20715.  All applications will be reviewed by the SW Scholarship Committee by August 15. Awards will be made based on funds available for scholarships, established need of the applicants, and benefit to both the applicant and the Scottish Country dancing community. Be as complete as possible in filling out this application. In addition you are required to get a letter of recommendation from your Scottish Country dance or music teacher. Please provide your teacher with the following link to the Teacher Recommendation form or a physical copy with a stamped/addressed envelope, and ask her/him to mail the recommendation directly to the SW Registrar, Bill Wallace, 12218 Fleming Lane, Bowie, MD 20715.

 

Note that we are now offering 3 scholarship options.  The SW Financial Aid scholarship is primarily for new dancers needing additional assistance in order to attend SW .  The Cobey England Youth Scholarship is for a young dancer who would benefit from attending SW.  The Susan Mills Scholarship is for an experienced dancer who would love to attend and enjoy the fellowship and dancing - but needs some additional help to attend.
