CBSI SCOTTISH CULTURE SCHOLARSHIPS
First round 2023 is Now open
The aim of the CBSI Scottish Culture Scholarships program is to increase the understanding, retention or promotion of Scottish Culture and ensure its future for CBSI members.
We encourage you to be inspired to work with us to meet this aim through a mutually beneficial scholarship. For example, you may have a Scottish talent (dancing, singing, piping, painting, cooking, heavy lifting, etc) that could be improved by a short course with a specialist instructor – in return you could deliver a talk and a short demonstration of your skill at the next Clan Buchanan tent or local Scottish activity.
These one-off scholarships are not limited to a particular art form or cultural activity but may support any activity or project that relates to traditional or contemporary Scottish Culture, particularly with links to Clan Buchanan.
