University of Ottawa announces year 2001 Yaworska Scholarships

OTTAWA - In 2001 the Marusia Yaworska Scholarship Fund, administered by the University of Ottawa, will provide at least two scholarships each valued up to $5,000 (Canadian) to talented students in Canada or Ukraine who are pursuing music studies on the graduate level.

The fund, established from the estate of Marusia Yaworska, a music lover, pianist and violinist who taught performing arts for 40 years, awards scholarships to students on the master's, doctoral or post-doctoral level. Candidates must be enrolled in a recognized music program in Canada, Ukraine or elsewhere, and be nominated by their own school of music.

In 2000-2001 two students received a Marusia Yaworska Scholarship. Pianist David Jalbert received $5,000 to pursue his musical studies at The Glenn Gould Professional School of The Royal Conservatory of Music. Tetyana Ursova was also awarded a $5,000 scholarship to enter the Postgraduate Performance Course at the Royal Academy of Music, London, England.

Each school is invited to nominate one student before March 31, 2001, with proper supporting documentation including an official application form, a curriculum vitae, a recording of three works, official transcripts, and reference letters.
