ABOUT THE BURSARY
The Winnipeg Youth Orchestras is dedicated to providing young orchestra players with the opportunity to experience and participate in orchestra playing. The WYO is proud to offer a bursary program for those families and individuals who request financial assistance. The program is available for all of our orchestra programs.
Bursaries are awarded on the basis of:
- The financial need of the applicant’s family
- The number of musicians requesting a bursary
- The amount of bursary funds available
The number of bursaries awarded each year may vary. Information in this application form is used to help the WYO Board of Directors in understanding the applicant’s financial needs. Bursary form information will be viewed by the Board of Directors and stored in a secure location. Information will be stored for 1 year and then deleted. Bursaries are awarded at the discretion of the WYO Board of Directors.
Applications for the bursary, along with all required documents, will not be accepted if submitted after the deadline.
Families are required to re-apply for a bursary every year to ensure their financial information is up-to-date.
