WROTFA believes in the value of old time music camps to enhance musical skills, build an old time music repertoire and to foster close ties with other like-minded musicians in a fun, inclusive atmosphere. We are happy to provide bursary funds of $200 per sponsored individual according to the following guidelines (* Indicates new or updated information):

Applicants will:

• be an Alberta resident.
• * be a current member of the Wild Rose Old Tyme Fiddlers Association, or your parent / guardian must be a current member, if you are under 18 years of age.
• not have received subsidy from the Wild Rose Old Tyme Fiddlers to any other fiddle camp in the current year.
• not be actively instructing beginners.
• apply for sponsorship to old time fiddle camps held in the province of Alberta only.

1. First priority will be given to applicants 18 years of age and under.
2. Sponsorship of chaperones will be approved if the chaperone is enrolled in a music class, funds permitting.
3. *Applicants 18 and over will be considered based on funding availability.
4. Applications will be processed on a first come, first served basis until the targets for our annual sponsorship budget have been reached.
