CDNY Offers Dance Camp Scholarships for Summer of 2019
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, www.cdny.org. The application period ends on Saturday,
June 1, 2019. 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.

CDNY, up to a maximum total of 100% of the camp fee.
