Yaworska Scholarship is available to music students in Canada, Ukraine

OTTAWA - In 2004 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 at the graduate level.

The fund, established from the estate of Marusia Yaworska, a music lover and herself a pianist and violinist who taught performing arts for 40 years, awards scholarships to students at 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 2003-2004, four students received Marusia Yaworska Scholarships to pursue their musical studies. Anita Walsh, Jocelyne Roy and Oleg Kaskiv received $5,000, and Scott Robinson received $1,000.

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