CDNY Offers Dance Camp Scholarships for Summer of 2024
Once again Country Dance New York is offering summer dance camp scholarship grants to its members. The CDNY grants may be applied to any camp week* offering primarily American and/or English country dance and music instruction, including callers’ workshops being held in conjunction with a dance week. These are partial grants, limited to a maximum of 40% of the camp fee, and are intended for current CDNY members who need some financial assistance in meeting the cost of camp fees.
Scholarship application forms will be available at the admissions table at CDNY dances. If you would like to apply, complete the form and submit it to Marty Fager at 589 Saint Marks Avenue, Brooklyn, NY, 11216-3512. You can also deliver the application to me in person at a dance. The application form is also posted on our website. The application period ends on Saturday, June 8, 2024. The Scholarship Committee may consider making an early determination and award if needed to meet a matching grant from another organization.
Other scholarships: Country Dance and Song Society (CDSS) has many scholarship programs for their dance weeks. CDSS offers work scholarships, straightforward cash grants, and “matching grants” to be paired with another organization’s award. These grants have earlier deadlines and dancers should check them out immediately if interested. Go to
CDSS Dance, Music, and Song Camps | CDSS Dance, Music, and Song Camps and Online Programs and https://camp.cdss.org/scholarships/ or call CDSS: 413-203-5467 for more information.
Fiddle & Dance camps at Ashokan: http://ashokan.org/camps/ have an economy pricing tier and a youth pricing tier available for those who can’t afford the regular price.
A partial grant from another organization may be supplemented by a grant from CDNY, up to a maximum total of 100% of the camp fee.
If you need further information, call Marty Fager at 718-622-7415.
Happy dancing,
Marty Fager
