Scholarships
In order to be eligible for a scholarship or award at the Saskatoon Music Festival, the entrant must:
- Fulfill the following residency requirements:
- have been a resident of Saskatoon (70 km range) for a minimum of a 5 month period prior to registration, OR
- have studied regularly with a teacher who is a resident of Saskatoon (70 km range) for a minimum of a 5 month period prior to registration, OR
- have proof that Saskatoon (70 km range) is their permanent residence if they are studying elsewhere.
- Be aged 28 or younger as of December 31 of the year preceding the festival.
- Enter and compete in at least two solo classes in the same discipline.* For those classes, instrumentalists must compete on the same instrument, with the exception of percussion, where performers play more than one percussion instrument. This rule does not apply to the pianist in the lieder class. Musical Theatre and Voice are considered separate disciplines.
*The Kinsmen semi-final classes, Canada West classes, and the Walter Thiessen Concert Group class do not count towards the two-class minimum for scholarship eligibility.
