Pacific Bluegrass & Old-Time Music Society

Bursary requests are now closed for 2026.  We will update this page when they are re-opened for 2027.  We appreciate the opportunity to have supported our members in musical development in 2026.

Supporting the musical development of our members is an important part of PBOMS’s mandate. Each year, the club offers bursaries to help members attend bluegrass or old-time workshops and other educational events when the cost might otherwise be a barrier. Recipients may include students, members on limited or fixed incomes, or others with limited disposable income.

Members are welcome to apply for a bursary at any time by sending a brief description of:

1. the workshop or event you would like to attend;

2. how you expect to benefit from the experience; and

3. how this bursary would help make it possible for you to participate.

If applications exceed the funds available, priority will be given to members who have not received a bursary within the past three years.

Applications may be sent in confidence to pacificbluegrass@yahoo.ca
