Grant-in-Aid Scholarships

Cassa is looking for mature students to work as assistants for Cassa Kids at Play, Cassa Piano, or Cassa Musical, in exchange for tuition to attend a Cassa program of their choice. Apply by email, before the Early Bird deadline of June 15.

Donations

Special thanks goes to our many supporters who make this funding available. Because of donations made by people who are just like you, we have been able to assist ten to twenty participants each year - deserving and talented students who otherwise would not have had the opportunity to attend a fine arts program, not for lack of ability or desire, but because it was beyond their financial means.

You may make a direct donation to Cassa by printing and mailing our donation form (link here) with your contribution, or click the Canada Helps button here.
