Alasdair Fraser’s Sierra Fiddle Camp will again offer scholarships specifically for teachers of music. We recognize that teachers hold a special position in our society for which they are rarely sufficiently compensated, and we take seriously our responsibility, and that of our parent organization the Scottish Fiddlers of California, to support, nourish and replenish our community of educators. Your participation in camp, and what you bring back to your students, amplifies our efforts to inspire musical exploration, growth and expression, extending the spirit of Sierra Fiddle Camp well beyond its participants.
This scholarship is limited to teachers of music. Please note that this scholarship applies only to Sierra Fiddle Camp (and not the Valley of the Moon Scottish Fiddling School).
One or more scholarships may be awarded depending on funds available; travel expenses will be taken into consideration. Criteria on which awards will be based include financial need and demonstrated commitment to teaching. You can and should apply for both a Teacher’s Scholarship and general financial aid (though only one award will be granted to any given person).
