FVHDA - Scholarships
Information for Highland Dancers regarding Secondary School Course Credit and FVHDA Scholarships.
FVHDA Academic Scholarship:
The FVHDA has approved the introduction of an academic scholarship for highland dancers who have devoted years of their lives in the pursuit of Highland Dancing.
Each scholarship will be either $250.00 or $500.00. The number of scholarships and the total amount of scholarships offered annually will vary depending on the number of qualified applicants, and the net proceeds from fundraising efforts during the dance season.
Note: To receive credit for these courses you will need to provide the original certificate from Scotland. As these certificates often take a while to arrive from Scotland it is advisable to start early if you would like to apply for the credits. Contact your school’s guidance councillor for more details.
High School External Credit:
BC Secondary Schools offer external course credit for Highland Dancing.
UHLD 11 – Highland Dancing 11
UHLD 12 – Highland Dancing 12
These external course credits are awarded based on both theory and practical exams
with the SDTA, BATD, or UKA that the dancer has completed.
