ApplY NOW

Families can apply for almost any artistic or cultural activity across the province. Simply download an application form (below) and send it to us before one of the 5 application deadlines (also listed below). You can also apply online (below).

Children ages 4 to 19 are eligible for up to $750 per year (June 1 to May 31). If your application is successful, we will pay the granted amount directly to the instructor/service provider.

Funding is based on a family’s financial situation and the funds we have available. We often receive more applications than we can fund and families with the fewest economic options are generally our top priority.

Common Questions:

Saskatchewan* children and youth, ages 4 to 19, can be funded. At this time, the program is open to families whose incomes are less than $40,000 CAD. Parents are required to demonstrate financial need by including their most recent Canada Revenue Agency tax assessment or by having their application signed by an endorser who knows the family’s financial situation.

*Families from Lloydminster who technically live in Alberta can also apply.

It's best to apply for just one program per child. So pick your favourite.

If you want to take multiple classes with the same service provider – say two art classes at the same studio – you can list all the classes on a single application, showing the cost of each beside. Be sure to indicate your top choice though! Sometimes we can only support one.

Dance classes are usually packaged as a whole, and are usually funded as such. Just list each class/expense and its cost on the application (i.e. Ballet $100, hip hop $100, tap $100, costume $100).

If a class costs less than $750 for the year, we also consider funding for accessories such as dance shoes, dance wear, musical instruments, and art supplies that are needed for your class.

We can only pay for these at a local businesses though. (For instance, we can’t buy art supplies from Michael’s, or shoes from Walmart or online).

We don’t purchase instruments, but rental fees are eligible.

2019 Application Deadlines:
