To apply for the new Academic Scholarship approved at the 2001 AGM, an applicant must apply directly to the CDUSA Academic Scholarship Committee detailing their course of study and why they want, need, or would like a scholarship and what they hope to accomplish if given the opportunity to pursue their chosen course of study.
They must supply the committee with all the necessary documentation to prove that they have been accepted at the University/College of their choice, in the program that they have indicated. They must also prove that they are in fact enrolled in that program and actively participating in those studies at that school. They must be willing to provide regular progress reports, articles of updates to the Scholarship Committee.
The CDUSA Scholarship is for Clan Donald members only and any field of study that promotes Clan Donald and our knowledge of Gaelic/Celtic culture will be considered.
The Audie Gammon Memorial Scholarship is limited to Piping, Drumming and Fiddle, 18 years old and younger, at an accredited North American school, with preference given to Clan Donald members.
To apply for
either the CDUSA Scholarship or the Audie Gammon Memorial Scholarship,
you may print out the PDF-format application form. (In
order to open this file, you will need Adobe's Acrobat Reader.) The application,
along with three letters of reference, must be returned to your Clan Donald
State Commissioner no later than July 1.
Note: Applications
must be received by the CDUSA Scholarship Chair by August 1 in order to be considered
for that calendar year.
