Annual Bursary
Lady Cove Women’s Choir Bursary

We are pleased to offer the Lady Cove Women’s Choir Bursary, given annually in the amount of $1,000 to a developing musician whose primary residence is Newfoundland and Labrador or who graduated from a Newfoundland and Labrador high school, in support of a music education experience. The bursary may be used for travel to a music program, participation in music festivals, lessons, private instruction, tuition or any other music education activity. It is open to musicians between the ages of 15 and 20.

The Garfield Warren and Doctor Peggy Allan Armstrong Bursaries

Valued at $500 and $200 respectively, the Garfield Warren and Doctor Peggy Allan Armstrong Bursaries are meant to encourage the next generation of young musicians who are building their experience and honing their craft. These two bursaries are open to musicians between the ages of 15 and 20.

Deadline to apply is June 1, 2025.

Congratulations to our 2023 Bursary recipients:

How To Apply

Interested musicians between the ages of 15 and 20 by December 31, 2024 should apply by completing and submitting an application form no later than June 1, 2025.

The activities for which the Bursary is being sought must occur within sixteen months of the announcement of the Bursary recipient. The application must be supported by one written recommendation from the applicant’s music teacher/conductor.

Applications will be reviewed by the Bursary Committee of the Lady Cove Women’s Choir, which is comprised of choir members, Board members, and community representatives. The winner will be notified before June 15, 2025.

Recipients are required to demonstrate that the funds were used for the proposed activity. In the event the bursary cannot be used by the recipient, it should be returned to Lady Cove. For this reason, applicants should attempt to list more than one proposed activity on the bursary application.
